Legal Advice Bureau (LAB)

Greater Manchester School of Law

At the Greater Manchester School of Law, we are focused on developing students for their professional futures. We do this by giving our students:

Courses developed with Law experts, to ensure the skills our graduates offer employers are the skills they want;
Academics with established profession contacts, giving access to work placements and future employment
Small class-sizes that ensure students are not lost in a crowd. We had the second highest student to staff ratio in the North West (Telegraph 2011)

Legal Research Centre

The Legal Research Centre houses the current eclectic collection of research interests within the Law School and its research students. Our mission is to ensure that all teaching is underpinned with research bases. It is also the umbrella organisation which governs the Centre for Law research and practice. The Centre for Law research and practice provides an interface for conferences, publications and ADR training.

Legal Advice Bureau

The University of Bolton Legal Advice Bureau (LAB) in collaboration with Bolton Library is a free, student-led public advice service, staffed by law students working under the supervision of experienced volunteer solicitors. We aim to deliver legal support to those members of the local community who cannot afford legal advice or qualify for legal aid.

The LAB provides an advice-only service; we cannot offer representation in court or assist those who already have legal representation.

We are currently offering appointments in person only at Bolton Library, in the centre of Bolton.

At your appointment, you will meet student volunteers and their supervising solicitor who will discuss your matter and offer initial advice.

Please register and provide as much information as possible and a member of the team will be in touch to discuss the next steps.
