Practical skills in housing and employment law
A collaboration between Southampton Law School and local Chambers, 12 College Place, gives students the chance to learn about the practicalities of employment and housing law.
The law students run regular clinics to advise University students on their rights and develop valuable skills that will help them in the workplace after they graduate.
The housing law clinic is now in its third year. It supports students who need advice on renting property while they study. Employment law issues tackled can include discrimination, harassment, contractual and status matters and dismissal.
Through volunteering to advise in the clinics, law students improve their interview and communication skills and learn how to manage cases.
