Scope of Services

SLS employs attorneys, properly licensed for practice in Ohio, to assist students in the following ways.

ADVICE
Legal services will be provided through one-on-one counseling with individual students.   Counseling sessions shall provide students with answers to their legal questions, advice on ways to proceed and referrals to available resources to assist in resolving the problems.  Students may seek advice on a variety of legal topics even if full representation is unavailable in that area. The advice may be limited depending on the area of law and the attorney's knowledge regarding the particular subject matter.

EDUCATION
Students will receive education regarding their legal rights and responsibilities through a combination of seminars, workshops, and/or lectures presented by SLS attorneys or sponsored by the SLS office. Additionally, a variety of publications are available to assist students in understanding the law.  By so informing students, SLS desires to prevent serious legal complications from arising in the future.  All KSU students are invited and encouraged to participate in these programs.  Students possessing information about the legal consequences of their actions are in the best position to make responsible decisions.

Further, individual students or groups may approach SLS as a resource for locating sources of legal information or assisting in class projects dealing with the law and the judicial process.  Requests for law-related or legal education programs and suggestions for program topics are welcomed and can be communicated by correspondence, in person, or by telephone.
