The office of Student Legal Services provides free legal advice to any currently enrolled University of Arizona student. Student Legal Services sees students with a variety of legal issues. The most common issues involve landlord tenant, family law, criminal misdemeanors (such as minor in possession and fake i.d.) and red tags. The majority of the Legal Advisor's time is spent meeting with and advising students.

Law students will observe the Student Legal Advisor's client meetings and will be trained on specific legal issues to eventually conduct client meetings under the Legal Advisor's supervision. Participants would also support ASUA programs with issues such as contract review and policy drafting. In addition, law students will be afforded opportunities to conduct legal research projects on a broad array of legal issues, update marketing materials, assist with campus and community presentations on legal issues and observe legal proceedings.

The goal of the externship is to provide law student participants with the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to effectively serve clients as attorneys.
