In this 90-minute online workshop, SULCN’s founding student members will reflect on their experience founding SULCN, how pro bono has affected them throughout their legal careers and how their practice has been changed as a result of the lockdown.

The link to the webinar will be emailed to you once you register. Any further joining instructions for the webinar will be emailed to registered participants.

SULCN is an initiative that brings together, and raises awareness of, student Law Clinics in Scotland.

These Law Clinics aim to address access to justice problems across society in a variety of ways, including:

• public legal education, to allow people to recognise when they have a problem with a legal solution or (ideally) to avoid a legal problem in the first place;
• advice and (where possible) assistance to resolve a legal problem where alternative support is not available, which might be the case when someone is not eligible for “legal aid” but is not otherwise able to afford professional legal advice;
• campaigning for appropriate law reform where the legal system creates barriers to accessible legal solutions; and
• introducing law students to issues of social justice early in their educational development, in the hope that they will take a commitment to social justice forward into their legal careers.

Law Clinics across Scotland use the enthusiasm and skills of law students to make an impact in their local communities. Join SULCN on 27 May to learn more about pro bono law clinics across Scotland and the story of how SULCN began.
