Student Legal Services (SLS) is a non-profit law firm that has been serving students on BGSU`s main campus since 1984. SLS currently employs two full-time lawyers, who typically advise and represent more than 2,000 students each year. In addition, SLS promotes educational opportunities for the entire student body related to students` legal issues. Students must have paid their $13 participation fee at the beginning of each semester to use the service. KLA lawyers and other staff provide direct legal assistance to help low-income families and individuals resolve serious economic and social problems. Priority is given to cases that impair the client`s ability to achieve long-term self-sufficiency. Our benefits counselling program helps seniors and people with disabilities improve their quality of life by helping clients receive the benefits they are eligible for. We also provide emergency and long-term legal assistance to victims of domestic violence. SLS strives to help students address legal issues that may adversely affect their well-being or interfere with academic efforts. The services offered are designed to help students solve problems for which it would otherwise be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain legal services at affordable prices.
In this way, SLS helps BGSU achieve its goal of promoting a positive living and learning environment for student success and retention.
