Student Legal Referral

Have you a legal problem?

To show that we're not entirely isolated from the rest of the University and packed away into the depths of the Hunter Building, the law students offer to students of all faculties a legal referral service.

This scheme has been run most successfully in the past and has provided a service whereby the student with a legal problem of any magnitude is either given student advice or referred to a solicitor in practice who will be able to help them.

For all advice by students and staff members advice is free. Once practitioners are brought into the service a charge may be made, though the student may be eligible for state legal aid. It is up to the individual student to decide whether or not his cause is referred to a solicitor in practice.

We propose running the scheme every day Monday to Friday during term time from 12—2pm in the Boardroom UUB (Middle Floor), if student requirements do not warrant this we will limit ourselves to three days a week as in previous years.

Normal professional practice of treating any information as confidential will be observed by the law students, although obviously they reserve the right to disclose the information to staff members on the Law Faculty for the purpose of advice.

The service is operating now and is there for you to use. Please do so.
