Case Management
Every case begins with the client getting in touch with the law clinic either by phone or email.
When phoning the law clinic, you will be asked to leave a message on the answer machine which is checked every day.
If we feel that the law clinic is capable of taking on your case, the case will be assigned to a firm within the clinic,
and two members of that firm will contact you. During this conversation the two student advisors will introduce themselves
and arrange with you a convenient date to come to the university and discuss your case. They will also send you some documents
to sign before the case can be taken on, simply to comply with our insurance policy.
This is the opportunity for you to meet the student advisors in person and discuss the issues you want resolved. The interview
should only take about half an hour of your time and can be as informal as you would like.
