Roster Availability for Legal Clinics
You will usually be scheduled once every four to six weeks (if you wish to do more please comment below). Each shift runs for about 2 hours, depending on the number of clients booked in.

We aim to achieve a logical spread of expertise across the weeks and months. This means the day on which your shift falls may change across the year.

We ask that that you select as many options as possible - you can use the 'other' box for specific notes such as non-availability.
