Student Legal Services (SLS) provides consultations in a variety of legal areas. Representation is also available for many issues. More information on the most common types of legal matters we see in our office is available below:
Civil
If a student’s legal problem falls outside the areas noted above, we may still be able to help. We’ve probably dealt with the issue before and even if we haven’t, we’ll be happy to do so if we can.
Services we do not provide
SLS does not provide any advice on questions regarding taxes, bankruptcy, business, patent, trademark, copyright, wills, real estate or legal claims against a government entity, including the police and CU Boulder.
Also, we generally do not provide advice on questions regarding legal claims against another CU Boulder student. Note that we do not necessarily consider it problematic to advise or represent a student on a criminal case because a second student is either listed as a co-defendant in the case or has been wronged by the first student. See our limitations on services policy for more information.
In the event we cannot help with a legal situation, we’ll do our best to refer to someone who can.
