LEGAL EAGLES
Got legal questions? Student Legal Services has your back! As a UNT student, you have access to free help you might need — whether it’s writing a letter, drafting a document or figuring out your options, they’re here to give students free legal guidance. Just a heads-up — they can’t represent you on criminal cases (like traffic tickets) but can consult with you on criminal matters and for most other issues, they’re your go-to campus legal resource.
Learn more about the services they offer and fill out a form if you would like to make an appointment.
