should be “accusing people of things that don’t even make sense”

…ya missed an ‘a’
(in both the original and the reprint)

Cheers!

I’ve replaced my version with Mavis’ original Thank You note.

Apologies for any mistakes I made, and for not giving credit to everyone involved.

Cheers!

I am Barbara Wilson, Associate Director of Communications at Franklin Pierce Law Center. Thanks for the posts about the Mavis Roy RIAA settlement.

Mavis’ letter struck us, too, as a great reminder of why the students and profs at Pierce Law put so much time into her case and many others’, too. A couple of elucidations that might help your readers better understand the case.

Mavis’ case was taken on, not just by one but by two clinics: Consumer & Commercial as you reported, led by Prof. Peter Wright, and Intellectual Property & Transaction, led by Prof. Ashlyn Lembree. We think that the combination of the two was key to success as students in the IP and Transaction clinic come with engineering and science backgrounds and were really able to get a handle on the tech background of the case, while the Consumer & Commercial students really looked at the human elements.

Also, the rekeying of Mavis’ letter in your blog created some errors in her words. We apologize; we should not have created a PDF from an image so that you couldn’t simply cut and paste. Here is the corrected verbiage:

To all the wonderful lawyers and students that worked on my behalf:

I want to express my gratitude to all of you for all that you have done for me. I had no idea that there were wonderful lawyers anywhere, especially lawyers as compassionate, caring and hardworking as Attorney Peter Wright and Attorney Ashlyn Lembree. When I walked into the Franklin Pierce Law Clinic on July 3, 2008 I was in a desperate state. Ken Fortier was so nice and so helpful. I had a good feeling when I left here. Then when I was contacted and told that my case was accepted I really didn’t know what to expect. I had no idea that I would be treated so kindly and with so much respect. It is difficult to ask for help/charity. But I never felt that I was treated any less than a high paying client. The hours and hours of hard work that was done on mybehalf were amazing to me. I could barely read the paperwork without getting a headache. But Attorney Wright and Attorney Lembree and the students worked diligently to be sure that all T’s were crossed and I’s were dotted. And the outcome is such a relief. I could go on and on.

I am still unsettled that the record companies are able to treat upstanding American Citizens in this way. Invading people’s privacy and accusing people of things tht don’t even make sense. It is such a sad waste of the courts time.

I will always be grateful.

Sincerely,

Mavis Roy
