About FLAC Society

The DCU FLAC Society is a student branch of the independent Free Legal Aid Centre (FLAC) Ireland, an organisation dedicated to promoting equal access to justice for all. Our society shares this mission by providing free and accessible legal advice to DCU students, ensuring that legal assistance is available to those who it may be inaccessible to or those who may need it most.

At DCU FLAC, we strive to offer a service like that of national FLAC, operating monthly mock legal clinics where students can seek guidance on various legal matters. These clinics are led by a qualified legal professional, allowing students to anonymously submit legal queries in a safe and supportive environment. Each month, we focus on a different area of law that aligns with the new DCU FLAC newsletter, ensuring our sessions remain relevant and informative. These FLAC clinics are open to all DCU students, regardless of membership status.

For those who choose to become FLAC Society members, we offer exclusive access to additional resources and events designed to enhance their understanding of the legal field and provide networking opportunities. Benefits include:

  • Monthly Legal Aid Newsletter
  • Guest Speaker Events: Hear from practicing lawyers, legal experts, and advocates on various aspects of law.
  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with like-minded students, legal professionals, and FLAC representatives.
  • Educational Trips & Workshops: Gain practical insights into the legal profession through day trips, court visits, and hands-on workshops.
  • Social Events
  • Competitions and Academic Projects: In 2024/25, DCU FLAC are excited to announce the Inter-varsity FLAC Essay Competition, with the strong title of ‘Considering FLAC’s values: “The Universal Divide – Is democracy enough to close the divide between power and people?”, and the Legal Research project, titled: “‘Social Media and the Sensationalism of Human Rights Conflicts’”.

Whether you're a law student seeking practical insights or someone simply interested in learning more about legal rights and access to justice, the DCU FLAC Society is here to support, educate, and empower you!

Join us in promoting legal awareness and equal access to justice!
