"An important part of Westminster Law School, the University of Westminster Legal Advice Clinic has been operating for over 15 years."
It has offered over that time free legal advice in many different areas of law and assisted hundreds of people with their legal problems. Our students have won awards for their volunteering. Recently the Clinic was awarded funding to expand our services and we look forward to this new era of greater capacity.
