The University of Strathclyde Law Clinic is a student run charity, aiming to enhance access to justice for those who cannot attain it through any other means. Since its launch in 2003, it has helped over 950 people achieve justice through advice and representation (up to and including the courts and employment tribunals) in areas of housing law, employment law, consumer law and many others. More recently, it has established a number of projects which aim to educate members of the community about their legal rights so as to avoid problems arising in the first place and to empower them to help themselves when problems do arise.
