Support Through Court
91̽»¨â€™s School of Law works in partnership with Support Through Court (STC) who provide free help to people facing court as litigants in person, who cannot afford vital legal services or access legal aid.
's 91̽»¨ branch is based in Bartolome House at the University of 91̽»¨, providing support to unrepresented litigants, inexperienced court users, witnesses and family members, which varies from practical information and help with filling in forms to going into court with litigants and taking notes of the proceedings. Students benefit from full Support Through Court training and having the opportunity to build their knowledge of county court and family court procedures.
By being based at the University of 91̽»¨, the partnership enables to continue its life-changing work in 91̽»¨. Students contribute to the work the charity is doing by providing practical and emotional support for people facing court alone. This has a significant impact on the local community by extending the capacity of the essential services offered by Support Through Court and helping those navigating the court system without legal representation.
Students from the University of 91̽»¨ will have the opportunity to gain practical work experience through the partnership, allowing them to provide legal support to those going through the court system. They will do so through telephone service, face-to-face appointments, and attending court hearings, all of which will help them develop the essential skills necessary to work in the legal field.
