The Saint Andrews Legal Clinic helps bridge the gap for families who do not qualify for Legal Aid and who can not afford to hire a private attorney. As a result of the legal representation that SALC provides, families have increased financial security, and more children also grow up in positive and safe environments as a result of SALC's intervention.
