Domestic Abuse Form Filling Clinic
The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre runs a clinic to supports victims of domestic abuse take the first steps in obtaining non-molestation and occupation orders.
We work in conjunction with the Royal Courts of Justice Advice (RCJ Advice), and their award winning CourtNav system. Clients are offered a free one hour appointment where they are supported by trained Student Advisers to input the relevant information in the CourtNav form. The answers that are provided then generate and fill out the relevant form and supporting statement for applications.
After the appointment forms are checked by a qualified legal adviser. If a client does not qualify for legal aid or want to pay to have the assistance of a local law firm; RCJ Advice will explain the next steps and equip them with the best possible documentation to be a litigant in person.
Our clinic is open to all victims, regardless of gender.
The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre is committed to offering its students and local community opportunities through collaborative work. We focus on offering employability skills to undergraduate law students and beyond and supporting causes that are in line with our ethos and QMLAC values.
One of these collaborations is with Future Leaders UK on our community mentoring scheme. This long-standing collaboration offers undergraduate students across the university the chance to mentor A-level students from East London.
We also run a scheme known as Advocates for Change which offers court marshalling to students, aiming to get more state school students into the Judiciary.
