Student Legal Services Attorney guiding an Iowa State student through the State of Iowa's Legal Code

Student Legal Services

Funded by Student Government, the mission of the Student Legal Services Office at Iowa State University is to provide professional, confidential legal advice and support to college students, free of charge, when no conflict of interest with the university exists. Our office is committed to assisting students in addressing their legal concerns, ensuring their access to legal resources, and promoting their academic and personal success. When appropriate, we facilitate referrals to community legal services to further support our students. Our dedication aligns with the mission of the University and Division of Student Affairs, emphasizing the importance of serving all students and contributing to their overall success throughout their college experience.

Student Legal Services has served thousands of ISU students for over thirty years. It is most rewarding when some of them, years later, let us know their appreciation of the help they received from us.
