FLAC Volunteer lawyers – rolling deadline!

Volunteer Advisors provide first-stop legal information and advice to the members of the public in the clinics one evening per month. FLAC advisors do not take on cases for callers, do not act or write letters on callers' behalf, and do not give second opinions. If callers need further assistance after their FLAC session, they may be referred on to another appropriate agency. Support is provided by the local Citizens Information Centre and FLAC, and Free CPD training is available to volunteers.

FLAC runs a number of legal clinics which provide legal advice that primarily focuses on family law and immigration law on a weekly basis across Dublin. These clinics are appointment-based, and there is always a high demand for them.
