In pictures: University law clinics meet for annual conference
The seventh annual Scottish University Law Clinic Network conference was hosted at the University of Dundee yesterday. The opening keynote address was given by Mike Dailly of Govan Law Centre and there were other contributions on the day about: the Scottish University Land Unit (a partnership with Development Trusts Association Scotland and law students, which is currently running a pilot at the University of Aberdeen); a partnership between University of Abertay students and Police Scotland seeking to resolve cold cases of missing persons; and the new “pro bono expenses orders” which can be used when someone has been represented in legal proceedings for free.
Alison Atack, the new president of the Law Society of Scotland, delivered the closing address, and the society also generously supported the event. Proceedings on the day were co-ordinated by Liz Comerford of the University of Dundee.
