    Duty Solicitor

    Duty Solicitors for People in Prison

    The Legal Services Commission also provides a duty solicitor for people in prison with legal problems.

    The duty solicitor can:

    • advise generally about prisoners’ rights
    • assist unrepresented prisoners to obtain representation
    • assess whether a prisoner has a problem that needs a lawyer’s assistance
    • refer prisoners to appropriate services
    • provide basic advice in relation to parole applications

    The duty solicitor service is available at all correctional institutions in South Australia, including James Nash House upon request.

    See more on The Prison Advice Service in the Duty Solicitor Handbook.
