University of Essex: Essex Law Clinic
Essex Law Clinic at Essex University benefits the Essex community by offering free initial advice about legal problems. Advice areas: family law, immigration; limited capacity in wills/probate, employment law, landlord/tenant disputes, consumer law and welfare benefits law. We do not cover homelessness, crime, tax or debt. We are not a solicitors' firm, nor a substitute for legal advice. But we aim to provide the same high standard of service expected in the practice of law. Services are carried out by law students under supervision of legal professionals.
