Outreach work

A fundamental part of Jussbuss' work involves outreach to client groups who might not contact us otherwise. We visit adult education centres, Slumstasjonen in Oslo, Møteplassen in Oslo, libraries, Caritas, University of Oslo, OsloMet (former HiOA) and similar institutions. Jussbuss also visit prisons in Eastern Norway every week.

During our visits, we accept new cases at which individuals can ask about their own issues. We also hold presentations on the legal areas we specialize in, such as immigration law, labour law, debt and tenancy.

Jussbuss mainly visits institutions and organisations in Eastern Norway. However, we regularly travel to other parts of the country as well, to spread information about our work and provide legal aid to people who might not have heard of us.

Your organisation or institution can reach Jussbuss’ manager at 22 84 29 30 or leder@jussbuss.no for more information about our outreach projects or to coordinate a visit.

Below, you will find information about Jussbuss’ coming visits to institutions and organisations.

Prisons

Because inmates in prison cannot come to our offices during opening hours, and many are subject to telephone restrictions, outreach work in Norwegian prisons has long been a high priority for Jussbuss. We normally travel to prisons every week to take in new cases from inmates.

Inmates can also call Jussbuss at 22 84 29 00 weekdays between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Jussbuss regularly visits the following prisons:

Bastøy

Eidsberg

Halden

Hamar

Gjøvik

Ilseng

Adult education centres (voksenopplæring)

At adult education centres, we usually hold presentations concerning labour law, social security benefits (trygd), financial assistance (sosialstønad), tenancy, debt and immigration law. We also accept new cases.

Students

Jussbuss holds presentations for students at various educational institutions on a number of topics, for example rental regulations and student visas. We also make periodic informal visits to universities and colleges during which students can receive information about our work or talk to us about their legal questions.

Other organisations

Jussbuss also visits a range of other organisations. We have permanent agreements with Slumstasjonen, Caritas and Møtestedet, where we accept new cases regularly.
