Strathclyde Law School - The Law Clinic

The Law Clinic

The University of Strathclyde Law Clinic was set up in October 2003 by Professor Donald Nicolson, and was the first University-run Law Clinic in Scotland. The Law Clinic offers free legal advice and help to residents of Glasgow and the surrounding area who cannot afford a solicitor or do not qualify for legal aid. Dealing mainly with employment law and small claims issues, the Clinic has branched out in recent years into planning, environmental, and landlord and tenant areas of law.

The current Law Clinic offices are located on Level 5 of the Graham Hills Building, on the University of Strathclyde John Anderson campus.

In March 2009, the University of Strathclyde Law School won Best Contribution by a Law School for the work and success of its Law Clinic at the LawWorks & Attorney General Student Awards in London . The Law Clinic was also shortlisted in two other categories: the Best Contribution by a Team of Students category and the Best Contribution by an Individual Student category.
