Upholding Financial Fairness
Stellenbosch University Law Clinic welcomes the National Financial Ombud – a monthly presence designed to uphold financial fairness and improve access to complaint resolution services.
Who We Are
The Law Clinic, situated at 18-24 Crozier Street in Stellenbosch, subscribes to the following vision, mission and values:
Vision
- A community that is legally empowered and that possesses a strengthened capacity to exercise their rights, either as individuals or as members of the community;
- Law graduates who are professionally trained and are at the highest echelons insofar as their employability is concerned; and
- A broader South African community that is sensitised to their social justice responsibilities.
Mission
To bring our vision into reality the Law Clinic, through collaboration initiatives or otherwise, provides professional legal advice and representation in civil matters to members of the community who qualify for legal aid in Stellenbosch and surrounding areas and we offer legal education, including clinical legal education, to candidate attorneys, final-year law students and to members of the community, including the poor and marginalised.
Values
The Law Clinic expects every employee to maintain the organization’s core values in dealing with clients, colleagues and other stakeholders:
- Diligence and passion.
- Transparency, honesty and integrity.
- Respect.
