The SLS office will be closed beginning May 9, 2025, for the student break before summer term. The office will reopen on May 27, 2025, when summer classes begin.
New client intake is closed during this break.
Students can submit SLS assistance requests through the steps below for us to review after the break. Please note that we will only be responding to these inquiries once the office reopens which may be after your court date or deadline.
All inquiring students should read through the steps on this page and fill out the intake form linked below for us to review once the office reopens. You are still welcome to email your question(s) over the break to studentlegal@charlotte.edu for us to respond when the office reopens. An attorney-client relationship does not exist with our office until you have discussed your case with an attorney and they agree in writing to accept your case for legal assistance.

2. SLS Reviews Intake Form and Determines How to Assist
Once the office reopens and we have reviewed your intake form, we will contact you if any additional information is needed and then determine how we can assist with your matter. This decision is based on a few factors including, but not limited to, our current caseload and case intake priorities, the area of law involved, and the type of question(s) asked.
a. Conflicts of Interest: If your case involves a conflict of interest, we can typically provide resources and referrals which will be handled via email.
b. Legal Advice and/or Resources via Email: Some student inquiries are handled entirely through email communication to provide legal advice and/or resources on a matter.
c. Attorney Consultation: If applicable, we will send you a scheduling link for an attorney consultation. You will receive an email once your appointment request is confirmed and reminder emails ahead of the appointment.
If you cannot attend your post-winter break appointment or need to reschedule, please contact our office as soon as possible. Please bring any documents related to your legal issue to the appointment. If you have an upcoming court date, please bring the court paperwork. Documents can be electronic if you'd like to bring your computer or tablet. You may be asked to submit your documents through a secure client portal for review at your appointment depending on their format.
