Liverpool Law Clinic

_{In Association with the Liverpool Law School Pro Bono Society}

What is the Liverpool Law Clinic

• The Liverpool Law Clinic was established in October 2007 . Law Students provide legal services to members of the local community under the supervision of qualified Solicitors and Barristers from the North West.

How can you help?

• By volunteering to supervise a couple of interviews students conduct with clients and then providing comments (over email) on follow-up letters of advice that they draft to the client.

How often?

• The clinic is open each Tuesday and Thursday during term time for appointments at 12 noon and 1 pm

What will you need to do?

• You will be given notice of your appointment together with brief details of your case

•  Meet the students (who work in pairs) 15 minutes prior to the appointment to discuss the case

• Supervise the interview which will last approximately 30 minutes

• The students will then have approximately 2 weeks to prepare a letter of advice for you to check.

• Once you have approved the letter, the letter will be approved by the Manager of the Law Clinic before being sent out to the client.
