The University of Bolton, in collaboration with Bolton Library, run the University of Bolton Legal Advice Bureau (LAB) from Bolton Library. The LAB provides free legal advice to members of the local community who cannot afford legal advice and do not qualify for legal aid.
Our team of qualified solicitors advise clients about family law problems involving children, assisted by trained and supervised law students. The service is offered for free to those who cannot afford to pay a solicitor privately elsewhere. We are part of the University of Liverpool and our law students are able to sit in on client appointments and gain valuable legal experience that helps them to gain employability skills and an insight into legal practice work on family cases.
