Law Clinic Training
7th October 2010
After months of planning, Renfrewshire's first ever University Law Clinic is now a reality, with the first crop of 12 students beginning their training on 29 September. The Law Clinic, known as 'Law Wise', will complement the existing range of public advice services available in Renfrewshire. Student participants come from the University of the West of Scotland's BA Law course, and already possess at least two years academic tuition in this discipline. Their experience at the clinic will enhance their existing knowledge and skills by providing practical training in a real-life context under professional supervision from UWS and Law Centre staff.
The Law Clincic official launch event takes pkace at UWS Campus on Friday, 15 October 2010 from 2.00 p.m., while it is anticipated initial induction training will conclude in November, whereupon Law Wise will effectively open its doors to the public.
Law Wise is a free advice agency that is independent, separate and distinct from Renfrewshire Law Centre, albeit sharing part of the Law Centre's premises at 65/71 George Street.
