The Pro Bono Legal Advice
Clinic was launched in September 2011. The
Clinic is staffed by volunteer lawyers from Shoosmiths solicitors with support
from volunteer law students from the University of Northampton. The Clinic
gives free legal advice to people who could not otherwise afford to access
legal advice.
The Clinic was established
with the assistance of LawWorks, the operating name of the Solicitors Pro Bono
Group and it is one of over 100 other pro bono clinics around the country which
LawWorks supports.
The Clinic is run on a
monthly basis at the premises of the Northampton Citizens Advice Bureau in
Northampton Town Centre. The Clinic usually takes place on the second Wednesday
evening of every month between 5.30pm and7.30pm.
By taking part in the
Clinic you will be playing a positive part in the community as well as enhancing your learning experience. It will enable you to understand the
practical application of your legal knowledge and skills.
If you are a first or second year Law student and are interested in
finding out more about becoming involved in the Clinic please come to a meeting
on Thursday 13 March 2014 at 2pm in N25
If you are coming to the
meeting please email Margaret Roberts in advance so we have a rough idea of the
number of students interested.
