When I was in grad school at a US university, there was a lawyer available for free consultations with students. His campus visits were funded through the "student activities fee" we all had to pay each semester. I used the service once to get advice about a dispute I was having with my landlord.
I don't know if this is a common arrangement, but it's worth checking out.
