Community Legal Education & Seminars

Why do we do this? In order to increase community understanding and awareness of legal issues that may affect them or the people that they assist. During these sessions, a Centre representative can:

​

✅Provide information about a specific topic of law (such as family law, domestic violence, civil matters, neighbourhood disputes, consumer issues and minor criminal or traffic matters)
✅Inform people about their legal rights and responsibilities and how to enforce them
✅Explain legal processes and court procedures in certain circumstances
✅Make referrals to organisations that might be able to assist them
✅Tell people about what the Centre might be able to offer them such as free legal advice or assistance

​

These sessions are usually provided face to face and in groups, but we are also able to appear in other mediums (such as via webinar, as part of a workshop or at information stalls). Our solicitors aim to ensure the sessions are accessible, informative, easy to understand and supported with materials or presentations (if appropriate).
