Client Assistance

These projects involve sitting down with clients of partner organizations or clinics to collect their personal information and the facts of their case, and in some cases providing them with legal information or helping them complete court forms or other documents. These projects are good for upper years, who love client contact. They are structured in such a way that the students are getting very close supervision from the lawyer supervisor wherever the intake is taking place, which is usually at a legal help centre or clinic setting.
