The Student Legal Aid Program operates much the same way as a traditional law practice, providing assistance with legal problems most frequently encountered by students. Some of these common problem areas are: family law, debtor-creditor relations, landlord-tenant relations, contracts, personal injury, property damage, and other simple civil or criminal matters.

The scope of the law has become increasingly specialized and many areas of legal concern require specialized training and experience.

The volume of clients served by the Program also prevents the SLAP attorney from becoming a specialist in all areas of law. For those matters involving complex issues or specialized knowledge, the SLAP attorney will refer clients to an appropriate specialist. Such areas include, but are not limited to: taxation, patent and copyright law, immigration, bankruptcy, and real estate law. FAQ
