Clinical Legal Education

The University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 Law School’s Clinical Legal Education programme offers students the opportunity to engage in experiential learning through its Legal Clinic.

The Global Legal Clinic

The Legal Clinic offers free confidential advice to the public as well as University staff and students. Since the introduction of funding cuts to legal aid, few individuals have access to legal advice and assistance. Consequently, the Clinic aims to promote access to justice to the community by providing students with the opportunity to deliver pro bono advice and assistance to those who need it the most.

Why take part in the Clinic?

Taking part in the Clinic can help you:

  • Apply the law in a practical context.
  • Develop your communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Gain invaluable experience of working with clients.
  • Make a positive contribution to the community.
  • Network and raise your personal profile.
