EIU Student Legal Service

Welcome to Student Legal Services!

Our office provides a wide range of legal services for all students at no extra cost (we are funded by student fees). The most common issues we handle are landlord tenant and traffic violations. If you come to the office with a matter outside of our scope though, we are usually able to direct you to the correct legal resource.

Our attorney Kirsten Bays, has been with the office for seven years. She has lived in Charleston all her life and has her own private practice specializing in adoption services. Kirsten is a proud mother of four boys and three grandchildren. She loves plaid, McDonald's Diet Coke's and always has good candy in her office.

If you are wanting to make an appointment with our office, please fill out our Intake Form . This allows us access to important information about you and your situation we may need during your appointment. 

We look forward to serving you!
