Details

This guidance outlines the IAA’s approach to regulating immigration advice in University Law Clinics, including advice supervised by in-house solicitors and barristers. It highlights the option to simplify requirements for clinics where students offer limited, closely supervised advice for short periods (typically under 12 months) aligned with the academic year.
