If you have a legal problem but cannot afford legal advice or representation, the award winning Student Law Office at Northumbria Law School offers a free legal advice and representation service to the public.

We are a pro-bono clinic serving our local community in Tyneside and the North-East.

Please note: We are currently accepting new legal enquiries.

We are looking to take on new cases at the end of January 2025. If your case is urgent, our apologies, but we will not be able to assist you at this time. If you are content to wait until the end of January 2025 to hear whether we are able to take your case on, please provide details of your enquiry and we will hold your details until that time.

Please note, our office will close at 4pm on Monday 23rd December 2024 and reopen on Thursday 2nd January 2025.  Calls and emails will not be monitored in this time.

The Student Law Office runs just like an ordinary solicitor's practice. Set up in 1991, it handles hundreds of cases each year.

Legal areas covered include: employment, housing, consumer, family, crime, civil disputes, commercial, wills and lasting power of attorney. Assistance includes writing letters on behalf of clients, helping to negotiate settlement, advising on court procedures and even representation at court or tribunal hearings.
