Welcome to the Bond Law Clinic

The Bond Law Clinic is an incorporated legal practice wholly owned by Bond University, located within the Faculty of Law - Bond's very own law firm on campus!

The clinic offers law students a unique opportunity to gain real-world experience contributing to meaningful pro bono services that directly impact the community, primarily within the areas of:

  • Commercial law
  • Property law
  • Consumer law
  • Start-up law

The clinic provides free general legal advice to small businesses, not-for-profits, members of the community, Bond staff and Bond students. 

Bond Law Clinic's pro bono services include advising on business structures, intellectual property (e.g., trademarks and copyright), consumer protection and competition regulation, contracts, franchising, leasing, debt disputes and general legal issues. Bond Law Clinic does not represent clients on an ongoing basis. General legal advice is provided by experienced lawyers during a one-off consultation with clients. Volunteer student involvement includes a preliminary discussion of the relevant issues with the lawyer, attending the client appointment and preparing a file note followed up by a draft letter of advice to the client.

Bond Law Clinic Legal Practice Pathway

Bond Law Students can volunteer with Bond Law Clinic from their 2nd semester through to the completion of their Bachelor of Laws or Juris Doctor degrees. As you gain more experience with the clinic, you can progress from BLC Student to Trainee, Clerk, Senior Clerk, and ultimately Bond Law Clinic Champion in recognition of your competency, professionalism and contribution to the community through pro bono legal work.  

Step into real legal practice: book appointments, review case files, attend interviews, and draft advice under expert supervision.
