South Tyneside Community Legal Service

The Community Legal Service (CLS) is a major initiative to improve people's access to legal information and help. We aim to provide a network of legal information and help services that meet a recognised standard of quality. By improving your access to information about the law, the legal system and the legal services that are available to you, we hope to ensure that you are able to find out about your rights and understand how to enforce them effectively.
