The Legal Advice Centre
Our Legal Advice Centre is a student-run service which is supervised by qualified members of academic staff.
Accepting new appointments
The Legal Advice Centre provides free, confidential and independent legal advice to the local community.
This gives Law School students the chance to gain practical experience of the legal profession.
The Centre is staffed by law students under the supervision of qualified staff. All Student Advisers are final-year law students who have been professionally trained to help with a range of issues including:
- Consumer issues
- Criminal/civil disputes
- Neighbour disputes
- Housing
- Employment
- Family
Currently closed for enquiries
Appointments for this term are now full. The next available appointments will be end of January / start of February 2026.
Please note
We're unable to offer advice on immigration, child protection and debt management, or if you already have a solicitor acting for you. We cannot offer representation at a court or tribunal.
Recognised for excellence
The Legal Advice Centre has been nominated five years running for a LawWorks & Attorney General Pro Bono Student Award, and won 'Best Contribution by a Law School' in 2012.
