The Law Centre Clinical Program
The University of Victoria Faculty of Law runs a unique clinical program, called The Law Centre. This program allows students to put their legal skills to work by providing a wide range of legal services to low-income persons in the Victoria area. Unlike most clinics at Canadian law schools, students at The Law Centre are required to obtain temporary articles from the Law Society, and can thus provide full representation for a number of matters. Law Centre students regularly appear in court for criminal sentencing hearings, family matters, criminal and civil trials, and so on. They also regularly appear before administrative tribunals such as the Human Rights Tribunal.

Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
And in that state, the glass is a pool.
Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
