A clinic bringing together law students and qualified solicitors to assist poorer communities has opened in Scotland. The Law Wise Clinic, a partnership between the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of the West of Scotland and the Renfrewshire Law Centre, is the first of its kind in Scottish higher education. It will provide free legal advice while offering students a chance to gain hands-on experience as part of their courses. The centre will fill in the gaps in Renfrewshire's legal provision and therefore will not act for anyone who can afford professional legal services or who qualifies for legal aid.
