Student Legal Services Offers Services

Student Legal Services at The Ohio State University (SLS) is a non-profit law office that Ohio State has chosen to provide legal advice, representation, education, and resources to eligible Ohio State students.  SLS helps with the legal issues students typically face while in school, including but not limited to: criminal misdemeanors, traffic citations including OVI (otherwise known as DUI or drunk driving charges),off-campus housing, lease review, simple wills and advance directives, consumer, contracts, credit, debt, identity theft, uncontested domestic (including dissolutions of marriage), name changes, immigration and naturalization, cars (buying, selling, repairs and accidents), insurance disputes, victims of crime assistance (including protection orders), notary and much more.

Ohio State Columbus campus students in degree seeking programs are generally eligible for services unless they waive coverage. Students pay a $40 fee on their tuition and fee statement which entitles them to SLS services from August 1 – July 31, and they pay no more for the attorney’s services than that fee.

 

If you, or the student you are helping, is uncertain whether SLS can help, please call our office at (614) 247-5853 or email studentlegal@osu.edu. For more information about SLS services, eligibility, and areas of law covered visit http://studentlegal.osu.edu. Students can schedule appointments online or by calling SLS.
