The Aberdeen Law Project

The Aberdeen Law Project As a student-led project, we operate to provide legal assistance and representation, educational and community outreach programmes.

Casus Omissus, or the ‘The Aberdeen Law Project’ as we are publicly known, is the first purely student-led law clinic in Scotland. Our clinic, primarily exists in order to provide legal representation and educational programs to members of the public who would otherwise not have access to such assistance.
