The Coordinated Advice & Referral Program for Legal Services, a Chicago legal aid organization, is one group in the legal industry that's actually benefiting from the economic downturn.

CARPLS attracted more than 100 applications during a single week last month after it advertised for licensed lawyer volunteers to handle hotline calls in a new program that starts this month.
