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 Citizens Advice in Northampton Town Centre. The Clinic usually
takes place on the second Wednesday evening of every month between 5.30pm
and 7.30pm.
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
interested in finding out more about becoming involved in the Clinic please
come to a meeting on Wednesday 20 April 2016 at 1 pm in N3
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.
