For the last four years Diploma students at the University of Edinburgh, members of staff and hundreds of solicitor volunteers across Edinburgh have successfully come together to offer free legal advice and support to the local community.
The Free Legal Advice Centre covers a variety of legal issues of varying severity, from property disputes, contract interpretation, succession and family issues, to cases involving employment and planning. This scheme is mutually beneficial as students receive valuable practical experience and furthered client care skills, while our clients leave with one less issue. With growing popularity and ambition, we aim to expand on the services currently provided to the public, both in terms of the legal problems we can advise on and our accessibility.
