Manchester Free Legal Help
Manchester Free Legal Help is an advice-only service at the Civil Justice Centre, offering litigants in person guidance as they navigate the legal process.
Manchester Free Legal Help will be closed from 18th June - 29th June inclusive. Sorry for any inconvenience caused
Following legal aid cuts which took place in 2013, there are now very large numbers of people with no choice but to go through the court system without legal representation often facing opponents who have instructed barristers.
Drop-in clinics
MFLH runs drop-in clinics on the second floor of the Civil Justice Centre. These clinics do not require an appointment and are seen on a first come first served basis. We recommend that you get to the clinic as close to the start time as possible.
- Family Law; Every Monday 1pm-3pm; the second and last Friday of the month 10am-12pm
- Immigration Law; every Friday 2pm-4pm
During these clinics, University of Manchester students take notes for you to take away summarising the advice given.
MFLH can also give advice on small claims queries, by appointment only. To request an appointment, please contact the Project Coordinator on +44 (0)161 240 5034 or freelegalhelp@manchester.ac.uk.
