There was a speaker announcement in Tech Today that I thought you might be interested in: ——- In 1998, attorney C.L. Lindsay III left his practice in New York City to found the Coalition for Student and Academic Rights (CO-STAR). Since then, acting as its executive director, he has built CO-STAR into a national student rights organization that helps thousands of college students with their legal problems, free of charge, each year.
