Introduction

How to use public law to help your clients

The aim of this seminar is to help people identify when a person or group of people are affected by the decision-making of a public body, and what they can do about it.  This involves identifying grounds of challenge and a potential remedy, which the speakers will do across a range of areas including, welfare benefits, immigration and housing and homelessness. The following session on funding will deal with making a good referral to an accessible legal aid provider:
