Avon and Bristol Law Centre
Virtual Law Clinic
Grant: £39,200
July 19, 2018
The Virtual Law Clinic project uses Skype technology and pro bono support to offer free advice to individuals in ‘advice deserts’ areas where vulnerable people are unable to access a Law Centre.
Clients are supported by a volunteer working under supervision at a Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) in North Somerset or Somerset. The project has attracted a lot of regional and national attention and a number of CAB offices have contacted us to see if the project could be expanded.
The project currently provides legal advice in the areas of employment law and family law however it is planned to expand the model to include civil litigation and immigration.
