Essex Law Clinic

What we can help with

Advice is available in areas, such as: 

• Immigration
• Family law 
• Homelessness
• Housing law and housing conditions 
• Employment law
• Equality issues
• Consumer law
• Benefits law 

We cannot take appointments for issues that concern criminal law, will writing, tax and debt. We also cannot assist any person wishing to pursue a claim against the University, its governors, employees or students. Nor can we assist in claims that may create a conflict of interest for our supervising law firms. We reserve the right not to give advice in any particular case.

The Essex Law Clinic does not hold itself out to be a solicitors’ firm, nor is it a substitute for legal advice and is not regulated by the Law Society of England and Wales. It does, however, aim to provide the same high standard of service expected in the practice of law. The rules of confidentiality apply to all work undertaken at the Law Clinic. All law students participating in the Essex Law Clinic receive thorough training

Location
