He explained that the purpose of the legal clinic is to provide students with legal counsel and services without having to worry about fees. The consultations are a way to set students on the right direction since Tayrani notes most students are unaware of their legal rights. Most problems students bring to the clinic are not that serious and can be figured out in a short period of time by speaking to an attorney. According to Tayrani, the UCI campus is one of the three affiliate schools that have legal clinics, including California State University, Fullerton and California State University, San Bernardino. Torres hopes that the clinic will offer more than one session a week to accommodate more students.
All consultations are free of charge and confidential.
