FAMILY LAWYER needed!
We are looking for student-friendly lawyers (Solicitors/Barristers with 3+ years PQE) to volunteer twice each term online. Interviews can be conducted in person if preferred.
Currently, we have only one family law volunteer, and adding another would enable us to offer more appointments to family clients.
How we work:
After the clients are triaged by students, we schedule a 50-60 minute appointment for the client to see a volunteer lawyer. The service is advice-only and does not involve casework, although a follow-up appointment may be arranged if necessary.
The students conduct research and observe the interview to take notes. The volunteer lawyer interviews the client and provides oral advice.
We collaborate with the students on their research and drafting skills to prepare a letter, which is then sent to the volunteer lawyer for review and confirmation of accuracy.
We ask that you commit to attending two sessions during each term (Autumn and Spring).
