Dedicated to providing free legal advice since 1969.

The Law Students' Legal Advice Program (LSLAP) is a non-profit run by law students at the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia. We provide free legal advice and representation to clients in the Lower Mainland who would otherwise be unable to afford legal assistance. 

To request an appointment online, click the link below. To leave a voicemail regarding an existing file, our phone lines are open for messages from Monday to Friday between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 
 
Fill out the intake request form below to connect with LSLAP. 


** Please note: LSLAP will be in blackout from April 4, 2025, to May 19, 2025, and any communication may be delayed as clinicians will be unavailable during this time. Full time phone hours will continue to operate throughout March should you wish to book an appointment, ask about referrals, or leave a message for your student. Thank you for your understanding of the constraints of our volunteer program


**Please note that LSLAP cannot give legal advice over the telephone. ​

Our History and Organization​
The Law Students’ Legal Advice Program (LSLAP) was established in 1969 by students at the UBC Faculty of Law. Originally operating as a summer clinic called Vancouver Inner-City Services, this was later expanded to include a small number of clinics operating year-round. In 1978, the program was incorporated as a non-profit, the Greater Vancouver Law Students’ Legal Advice Society (GVLSAS), to provide free legal advice and representation for those who cannot afford it.

Today, LSLAP is formally governed by the GVLSAS Board, comprised of lawyers and professionals in the community. The day-to-day operations are run by law students at the UBC Peter A. Allard School of Law. Our six-person student executive leads a dedicated group of student volunteers and paid summer clinicians. All legal work done by students is overseen by the program's three supervising lawyers.
