Supporting the Free Legal Advice Centre in Edinburgh
10th December 2014
John West was busy chairing the University of Edinburgh Free Legal Advice Centre annual board meeting. The board were delighted to hear that the Centre continues to make great progress, particularly in developing law students’ clinical legal skills, and also about the Centre’s new and exciting projects. The board heard that the very recently launched project, the ‘Small Claims Advice and Representation Service’, in which several students are given intensive training by Kenneth Campbell QC (Arnot Manderson Advocates) to enable them to prepare clients' cases and represent them at the sheriff courts, has already successfully recovered over £1,000 for clients. Much more is planned for the Centre and it's fabulous to see that the great work continues.
