FREE LEGAL ADVICE CLINICS

A number of members have contacted us looking for opportunities in which they can gain relevant work experience to assist with securing internships, placements and traineeships; those undertaking traineeships looking for NQ positions; those who are qualified but have been made redundant or are in between jobs and want to keep their experience up; and those who are employed but want to volunteer for pro bono work to give something back. 

There are a number of Free Legal Advice Clinics around the country that were set up in an attempt to ensure that access to justice is provided to Society’s most vulnerable members. You might be able to offer support to volunteer or to train volunteers. Details of these Clinics are set out below.

Aberdeen University School of Law: Casus Omissus The Aberdeen Law Project

Dundee University School of Law: The Law Clinic

Strathclyde University Law School: The Law Clinic

The University of Edinburgh School of Law: Free Legal Advice Centre

LawWorks Scotland – we are in the process of working with LawWorks Scotland in an attempt to set up an individual membership for SYLA members. 

There are a couple of exciting initiatives planned in the near future. Further details will be publicised in due course.
