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
