About legal clinics

Community legal clinics are non-profit legal centres. They are governed by an independent board of directors who are representative of the community they serve.

Clinics employ lawyers, legal workers, paralegals and other staff to provide information, legal advice and representation. Clinics deliver services within a specific geographic area or community, and work at a grass-roots level to help people in their area
