In trouble with the law?The Youth Legal Service is there to help you

06/2014

Locked Up ?The Duty Solicitor helps young people held in the cells at the Adelaide Youth Court to apply for bail. If you are locked up at the Adelaide Youth Training Centre and have not talked to a lawyer, ask your worker to contact the Youth Legal Service and we will help you.

How can a Lawyer Help Me ?We will listen to your situation and give you legal advice about the best way to handle things. Lawyers are there to make sure you get a fair go in court. A lawyer will go into the courtroom with you and speak for you. What you tell your lawyer is con�dential and you have the right to see your lawyer alone. Even though a lawyer will give you advice, it is up to you to decide what you want to do. If you need a lawyer to represent you, we can help you apply for legal aid.

Help Over the PhoneIf you think you might be in trouble with the law, or if you have any questions about any other matter, you can get free legal advice on our Legal Help Line 1300 366 424, 9am-4.30pm Monday to Friday. We can also arrange interpreters by appointment.

If you need detailed advice, we can make an appointment for you to talk to a lawyer at any Legal Services Commission o�ce.

The Youth Legal Service is There to Help YouThe Youth Legal Service is a specialist unit of the Legal Services Commission. Our lawyers act for young people involved in criminal cases in the Youth Court.

The Youth Legal Service acts for you, not your parents or anyone else. If you have a legal problem, you have the right to see a lawyer and get legal advice. Telephone 1300 366 424

Help at CourtWe have a Duty Solicitor at the Youth Court. It is their job to give free legal advice to young people on the day of their court hearing. When you get to court ask to see the Duty Solicitor before you go into the courtroom. You should

not go into court without legal advice.

Unfortunately we cannot help everyone. The Duty Solicitor will

give priority to young people who have been arrested and

locked up by the police.
