UA Legal Services is a UA-run program that provides the option of free legal support to students in the Penn community by coordinating and paying for consultations with our attorney partner. UA Legal Services is open to all Penn students - undergraduate, graduate, professional, and international exchange students.
This service provides all requesting students with a free thirty-minute session with the UA’s attorney partner. It is intended to serve as an opportunity for students to receive counsel and advice on minor legal issues or as a convenient and quickly available starting point for more complicated legal matters.
Common legal support requests include landlord-tenant, roommate, and domestic disputes as well as visa and intellectual property support.
To request legal support please fill out our form linked here. The Legal Services team will reply to your request as soon as possible, but please be mindful that we may not be able to schedule your consultation for several days. If you were recently the victim of a violent crime or are currently in distress please contact Penn Police (confidential upon request) or Special Services (automatically confidential).
UA Legal Services is jointly funded by the Undergraduate Assembly (UA) and the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly (GAPSA). With any questions or concerns please contact Legal Services Coordinator Mackenzie Sleeman legal@pennua.org!
