Free Student Legal Resources

Currently, enrolled students can make an appointment on RamConnect to meet with a lawyer for free legal consultation. Students are encouraged to bring documents to the appointment related to the legal issue (i.e., lease, citation). Please keep in mind that students are strongly encouraged to use this service before legal complications arise.

The lawyer will provide a 15-minute consultation on a variety of civil and criminal issues - landlord/tenant, leases, citations, etc. This free service is offered by appointment only, and can be scheduled up to 12:00 p.m. the day before the session.

This legal consultation does not extend into a courtroom. If further legal aid is needed, the lawyer can suggest professionals for consideration, or refer students to the Lawyer Referral Service of the Chester County Bar Association. Please note that the lawyer is prohibited from taking any student cases as this may pose a conflict of interest.
