We value your safety and your health, and have made changes to our procedures in order to provide you with the same quality legal services in the safest way possible.
 

Virtual Consultations

To maintain social distancing guidelines as recommended by both the CDC and UNT, for student and staff safety, SLS consultations are being held via phone or Zoom.

If you have any questions about our virtual format or need any accommodations, please contact us at 940-565-2614 or studentlegal@unt.edu

Digital Paperwork

All of our intake forms are available as a digital PDF form, allowing students to complete and return all paperwork digitally for your connivance.

If you have trouble accessing or completing the paperwork electronically, or need assistance, please contact us at 940-565-2614 or Studentlegal@unt.edu.

Masks & Sanitation

Face-coverings are encouraged for non-vaccinated individuals. Our staff regularly sanitizes commonly touched spaces and items, including pens, clipboards, door handles, and desk surfaces.

Open Legal Clinic – every Wednesday

Starting Fall 2020, Open Legal Clinic has weekend hours!

Open Legal Clinic hours are 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. See below for any cancellations or modifications to the schedule.

Our department holds an Open Legal Clinic every Wednesday, the 2nd Tuesday evening of each month, and one Saturday per month to allow new clients the opportunity to consult an attorney on short notice.

Please be advised that Open Legal Clinic is a busy time, and that consultations are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and are reserved for new matters and not follow-up appointments.

Call us at 940-565-2614 or email us at studentlegal@unt.edu for details.

Please note Open Legal Clinic hours can sometimes change with little notice, and consultations can fill up quickly. We recommend calling the office to ensure availability.

If you cannot make it to the open legal clinic due to class or work, an appointment can be scheduled instead. Please note that the wait for non-clinic appointments can sometimes be a week or longer. Please call the office at 940-565-2614 if you wish to schedule an appointment.

If you need immediate assistance, we suggest contacting the Lawyer Referral and Information Service for the State Bar of Texas. Through this service, you can receive a 30-minute consultation for just $20.00. If you and the attorney agree to keep working after the first 30 minutes, their rates will apply. You can reach this service by calling 800-252-9690 or you can get a referral online by visiting www.texasbar.com/LRIS
