The University of Bedfordshire Family Law Clinic (FLC) is a student-led clinic offering free legal support and assistance in family law. Our law students are involved in client interviewing, letter writing, and providing legal advice to assist individuals who are unable to afford a solicitor.

The Law Clinic operates at the Luton campus throughout the academic year.

At the Family Law Clinic, our students provide free legal advice under the supervision of qualified lawyers. The Law Clinic is registered with Law Works which supports a network of local pro bono clinics to enable access to legal advice and justice.

What issues can the Family Law Clinic help with?

The clinic provides free, independent and confidential advice on a range of family law issues, including relationship breakdown, separation, divorce, arrangements for children to determine where they should live and who they should spend time with, and other options such as special guardianship and adoption.

What type of service is offered by the Clinic?

If you would like to receive advice from the Family Law Clinic please email familylawclinic@beds.ac.uk to book a free appointment. If your enquiry is accepted, the case will be assigned to a team of students, under the supervision of a qualified lawyer, who will be responsible for providing legal advice.

Our office is based at the Luton campus of the University of Bedfordshire, and aims to support the local community by connecting people in need of legal advice with the skills and expertise of lawyers and law students who are willing to meet those needs for free.

The Family Law Clinic offers face-to-face appointments as well as online appointments.
