    Student information

    Keele Legal Advice Clinics are open for Level 5 & 6 students to volunteer on an extra-curricular basis. We open applications to the clinics once a year (students will be notified when our application process is open) and if shortlisted students will be able to take part in an Assessment Centre. Successful students will then be invited to our training days where you will learn how to interview and advise clients, research the law using practitioner databases and give practical legal advice. You may be involved in drafting legal documents as well as advising clients in writing and in meetings.

    This valuable legal work experience will be advantageous to your professional development. You can record your experience on HEAR (Higher Education Achievement Report) to showcase your volunteer work at university and use as your portfolio when you graduate. It may be suitable to be recorded as qualifying work experience (QWE) for qualification as a solicitor under the SQE.
