Schedule an Appointment

Eligible students should contact Student Legal Services (SLS) in person at UMC 311 or by phone at 303-492-6813 to schedule an appointment.

An appointment should be scheduled with us soon after the legal situation arises. Students can make their legal problems worse by waiting to schedule appointments with us. By waiting, students can miss crucial deadlines (including some they may not know exist) or the opportunity to have SLS available for consultation or representation because we are committed to other students. 

How to schedule an appointment

Appointments are made only in person or by phone:

   
   303-492-6813

Services are by appointment only; SLS does not have walk-in hours.

We do not make appointments over email or online because holding multiple appointments open while waiting for a student to confirm one is unfair to fellow students who might need the other appointments. In addition, our in-person and phone appointment only process allows us to screen potential clients for eligibility, legal situation and limitations on services before making appointments. Please also note that we generally do not schedule same-day appointments. 

Parents or friends may not schedule appointments for students with legal issues; students must make appointments for themselves. In addition, students can only use SLS for their own legal issues; SLS is not available for advice to students on the legal questions of others. 

SLS does not answer 鈥渜uick legal questions.鈥 Contrary to popular belief, very few legal questions can actually be answered quickly. In addition, it is impossible to ethically answer a legal question without knowing all of the information important to the question.

What to expect

SLS will need the following before your appointment can take place:

  • Completed intake sheet. (You'll receive a link to SLS's intake sheet after you make an appointment.)  
  • Buff OneCard or other government-issued photo ID.
  • Consultation fee payment if applicable. Payments to SLS may be made by credit card, debit card, check, money order or cash. SLS cannot bill student accounts.
  • Any documents related to the legal situation, such as the ticket, bond paperwork, DMV paperwork, Student Conduct/Housing & Dining/OIEC letter, contract, court date notice, apartment lease, photos, videos, letters, emails and/or text messages. If you have a criminal case, you will generally also need to bring the police report.

At your appointment:

  • Be honest. Sometimes students think it鈥檚 better if we don鈥檛 know certain things about them or their legal situations. In fact, the opposite is true. We need all relevant information鈥攇ood and bad鈥攖o properly advise a client.
  • Remember that communications with Student Legal Services are confidential as required by the attorney/client privilege.

Our confidentiality promise

Students who visit SLS are entitled to the same confidentiality all lawyers in Colorado provide to their clients. We will not talk to anyone about a student's case (e.g., family members, the university or ) without the student's permission鈥攅xcept in a .
