The work we do is supported by UEA Law Student volunteers. We may ask you if a student can sit in on your interview with a solicitor or adviser. Student volunteers may also get involved with research or other activities to help your case, or deal with appointment booking.
If at any time you would prefer for a student not to be involved in your case or interview please just let us know – this will in no way affect your entitlement to or the quality of the service you receive from us.
