Welcome to OALS, a new community legal clinic launching in September 2025.

We provide free, full-service legal advice and representation in twelve core areas.

We act quickly, with skill, respect, and minimal bureaucracy.

DRIVEN BY STUDENTS ON PLACEMENT AND LEGAL TECH

We combine direct casework with clinical legal education and intelligent application of computer science to remove barriers to justice.

UNIVERSAL ACCESS

Some legal services are so critical to human rights they should be free for everyone, just like bulk-billed GP visits.

We are building a legal service free for all, without means testing, open to the whole community.

LIFE ADMIN AS SYSTEMIC HARM

Modern life demands daily navigation of complex bureaucracies. Mounting fines, unpaid bills, and hours on hold drain energy and erode dignity.

LAW AS SOCIAL WORK

Public interest lawyers should actively assume administrative burdens for clients and address the social conditions behind legal disputes.

EFFICIENCY AS JUSTICE

Access to justice should not be burdened by bureaucracy. Help should be available in as few steps as possible.
