Individual liberty, free markets, and peace: the world's premier libertarian think tank. Publishes Cato at Liberty, where I blog on contemporary policy issues.
Get your copy today! My new book tackles the question of why so many bad ideas come from the law schools. "Cutting-edge commentary, hard-hitting, witty, astute." -- Publisher's Weekly. "Excellent... A fine dissection of these strangely powerful institutions" -- Wall Street Journal.

Not that this provides a solution to the problem at hand, but there is a such thing as conservative and libertarian pro bono. See, Institute for Justice. Heritage Foundation also has a network, and of course there’s Pacific Legal, Atlantic Legal, etc. (not sure if all those groups are still around).
That is, if it’s too tricky and icky to “depoliticize” clinic work, then make it equal opportunity. Affirmative action for conservatism!
