Students’ Legal Assistance provides legal services to SIU Carbondale students, who pay the General Student Fee for on-campus programs. The services provided by the Students' Legal Assistance Office are not included in the General Student Fee associated with Distance Education programs (online and off-campus). Students must be enrolled and paying fees for the semester in which they are seeking services to be eligible for legal assistance.
Students are not charged any additional fees for services provided by our office. However, students are required to pay any court related costs, such as those required for filing court documents.
If you have legal questions or concerns, the links to the left provide some basic information. There are specific guidelines and limitations concerning what legal matters we can handle and to what extent we can pursue a case. If you would like to schedule an appointment to meet with our legal staff, please call or come by the office to schedule your appointment. We do not schedule same day appointments and we cannot give legal advice over the phone.
