The Legal Services Commission provides a duty lawyer service in the Youth Court of South Australia, to ensure that those appearing in the Court are not disadvantaged or denied access to justice.
The duty lawyer at the Youth Court will also advise and represent young people in custody who have been refused police bail. An appointment should be made to see the duty lawyer well before the court date.
Young people may get ongoing legal assistance if they apply for legal aid directly to the Legal Services Commission [see Applying for Legal Aid].
We embrace diversity and welcome all people, irrespective of culture, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Legal Services acknowledges Aboriginal people as the Traditional Owners and ongoing occupants of the lands and waters in South Australia and we respect their spiritual, cultural and heritage beliefs. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community and pay our deep respect to Elders past and present.
