BUSU Vice-President, University Affairs Andrea Lepage spearheaded the initiative after recognizing a need for affordable legal advice for students.
“Being an undergraduate student is often difficult and expensive,” Lepage said. “This service allows all students to receive access to justice and legal support that is often required while navigating life’s challenges.”
Brock students looking for advice on issues such as tenant and housing rights, employment law and human rights law can book a free appointment through the BUSU website. Appointments will be conducted bi-weekly on campus with NCLC.
