Bill & Order Information Sessions:
As part of our Legal Advice service, our resident lawyer, Bill Reid hosted an information session to help students learn more about Criminal Law. During this session, we dive into everything from criminal record checks, criminal charges, federal offenses, careers in criminal law and everything in between. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about what Legal Advice we can offer through the SSU! Look out for more insightful information sessions relating to employment law, family law and more! Check out any live upcoming Bill & Order information sessions here.
IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING…
An affidavit is a document that contains information you believe to be true and becomes legal when you sign it in the presence of a legal authority known as a notary or a commissioner of oaths.
Bill can also assist you with completing your letter of invitation should you be inviting family members to visit you while you study or for your graduation. To ensure you have all the information you need for your appointment, CLICK HERE.
A notary is a person qualified to take oaths or to certify that photocopies are true copies of original documents.
