Information about this form

What is this form?

This form is to apply for legal assistance from UPJ, which is a pro bono legal service connecting volunteer lawyers to people who need legal help.

Who should apply?

We give free legal help in limited situations. To be eligible, your problem needs to be something that fits our expertise, capacity, and policies.

We assess each application individually in order to determine if we can assist. We prioritise helping people and organisations that are most in need.

What happens next?

After an application is submitted, you will get a confirmation email. We may call or email you asking for more information before we determine whether we can assist you.

We try to respond to applications within 7 days, however it may take longer over holiday or busy periods. If there are any urgent upcoming deadlines, we may not be able to assist beforehand.

Agreement

I understand that this is an application only, that I am making a request for assistance, and until UPJ indicates that legal assistance will be provided, no client-solicitor relationship is created.
