RE:   Rule 24f-2 Notice for Domini Social Equity Fund

         This opinion is being  furnished in connection  with the  registration,
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act"), of an indefinite number of Shares of Beneficial Interest (par value
$0.01  per  share)  (the   "Shares")  of  the  Domini   Social  Equity  Fund,  a
Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"). I understand  that the Trust proposes to file a notice
(the "Notice") with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")
with respect to the Trust's  fiscal year ended July 31,  1996,  pursuant to such
Rule 24f-2 under the 1940 Act.  This opinion is being  furnished  with a view to
your
filing it with the Commission in conjunction with the filing of the Notice.

      This  opinion  is  limited  solely  to the  laws  of the  Commonwealth  of
Massachusetts  applied by courts in such  Commonwealth.  I  understand  that the
foregoing limitation is acceptable to you.

      Based upon and subject to the  foregoing,  please be advised that it is my
opinion that the Shares  covered by the Notice were  legally  issued and (to the
extent still outstanding) are fully paid and non-assessable, except that, as set
forth in the Trust's  registration  statement  as currently in effect filed with
the  Commission  pursuant to the 1933 Act,  shareholders  of the Trust may under
certain circumstances be held personally liable for its obligations.


                                                        Very truly yours,

                                                        /s/ Philip Coolidge

                                                        Philip W. Coolidge, Esq.
