The Fife Rights Forum today launched its plans to set up a new law centre in the Fife area. The law centre will aim to provide community legal services to the people in Fife by a variety of means and in conjunction with an existing network of advice agencies.

The launch event was attended by Professor Alan Paterson of the University of Strathclyde, a long-time supporter of law centres.

The group hopes to secure sufficient funding to allow the new service to begin in the spring of next year.
