EIU Student Legal Service

Open Legal Clinic

The fastest way to meet with the attorney is to visit our Open Legal Clinic held on most Tuesdays during the fall and spring semesters from 10:00 am - noon. Open Legal Clinic days and hours are subject to change. We suggest checking the website for any updates regarding changes or cancellations before coming to the office.

Due to COVID-19, Open Legal Clinic will look at little different this semester. We ask that you give our office a call (217-581-6054) right before showing up. This way, we don't have a lot of people waiting in a small area at once. And of course, like all offices on campus, please wear a mask during your appointment.

Intake Form

Once you 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. Please fill out the form and email it to kcbays@eiu.edu before your appointment.

COVID 19 and your LEASE

• A lease is a binding contract between you and your landlord.
• If you live off campus, you owe rent for the remainder of your lease period even if you are not living in the unit.
• If you have an on campus housing contract, please contact the Housing Office at 217-581-5111 or housing@eiu.edu with your questions.
• If you have questions about your off campus lease, please email Student Legal Services to set up a phone appointment at kcbays@eiu.edu.
