Range of Services

At the Courthouse clinic there are currently over fifteen clinics a week dealing with civil law generally as well as specialized sessions in family law and personal injury.

How it Works

As with all our clinics, there are four sessions in each clinic, and each session lasts thirty minutes in which time one lawyer sees one client.

The lawyer completes a ‘pro-bono brief’ which describes the client’s situation and the advice given. The client is given a copy of the pro-bono brief to bring to further sessions, ensuring there is continuity in advice from one lawyer to the next.
