NEW! Landlord / Management Company Evaluation Form

ABOUT US

Associated Students Legal Resource Center opened its doors in Winter of 2000 as a result of a student initiative to provide free legal counseling services to the UCSB campus. The ASLRC attorney is available to consult with all registered UCSB students on any issue or concern in which legal education would be helpful. We offer information, education, coaching and/or referral in most legal matters affecting students and can assist you in identifying and resolving your legal problems.

OUR MISSION

Our mission at ASLRC is to assist students in responding to legal problems that may be interfering with academic studies or otherwise adversely affecting their well-being. All consultations are strictly confidential. ASLRC Attorney will be able to talk with students on legal matters, including landlord tenant disputes, contracts, personal injury matters, consumer complaints, credit and debt problems, family law, motor vehicle tickets, employment problems, criminal citations, wills and probate, and traffic accidents. ASLRC also has over 50 self-help law books written for the layperson.

RESOLVING DISPUTES

At ASLRC we are committed to finding practical solutions and resolving disputes. In those situations where an accord cannot be facilitated, or where the situation requires being represented by an attorney, our staff will refer you to private or public counsel outside of our office.

WORKSHOPS

Starting this Fall, ASLRC will offer periodic workshops to coach students on how to do specific legal procedures. Please see the "WORKSHOPS" link for details.

SERVICE LIMITATIONS

We do not provide formal legal representation, but rather education, facilitation, and self-help services to assist help students to solve problems to obtain favorable results. The ASLRC is unable to get involved in conflicts between two or more UCSB students, or between a student and the University.
