Students’ Attorney
Does your student need legal guidance or assistance with reviewing a lease or other legal document? The Student’s Attorney is available to provide Illinois State University students with expert advice from a licensed attorney.
Consultations are free of charge, but students must schedule an appointment online. Meetings are available in person, via Zoom, or by phone call.
The conversation between the Students’ Attorney and the student is confidential. As such, parents cannot schedule appointments for their students. The student must book their appointment online and be present during the appointment. Parents may attend the consultation as a support person if their student invites them.
