Swansea Law Clinic

30-minute Initial Advice Appointments

FREE 30-minute initial advice appointments with a solicitor or paralegal can be arranged. These appointments are held on Zoom.

Appointments are arranged on a case-by-case basis depending on the volunteer solicitor’s availability, ability to advise in the particular area of law, and provided they have no conflicts in advising.

Supported by: Duncan Lewis Solicitors, Peter Lynn and Partners, Graham Evans and Partners, Smith Llewellyn and Douglas-Jones Mercer Solicitors.

Student Advisor Appointments

FREE appointments with our student advisors can be arranged during term times. Appointments are used as information-gathering sessions, which are then followed-up by a legal advice letter.

30-minute initial advice appointments with solicitors are flexible, but are generally arranged on a Wednesday afternoon over Zoom.

Student-adviser appointments (term-time only) are held on Monday mornings. We are able to offer in-person appointments or appointments via Zoom.

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.

Students can gain real-life experience by enrolling on the twenty credit Clinical Legal Education module, LAA366 (Semester One) and LAA367 (Semester Two).

Students can also take part in Clinic activity on an extra-curricular basis through a range of different projects, including the Miscarriage of Justice Project, Appointment Shadowing, Street Law and other projects. Student volunteer recruitment takes place annually at the beginning of Semester One.
