The law clinic "right to the city" intends to pursue educational objectives of increasing legal knowledge,
learning about different aspects related to access to justice, and substantial problem solving, embracing a
conception of the University as a critical model of knowledge production and sharing.
The project aims to work on substantive cases with the intention of filling gaps in legal protection
regarding situations or interests that are not adequately covered by current regulations or do not properly
fit within the standards required by national, European and international regulations.
The legal clinic constitutes a privileged tool for achieving this objective, since it is a teaching method
based on experiential learning (learning-by-doing), which aims to foster the growth of knowledge, skills
(abilities) and values in students, while also promoting social justice goals.
Through the support and guidance of the lecturer and tutors, lawyers and other professionals and experts,
students can also learn legal knowledge in its concrete application through direct experience, contact,
listening to users and applying legal discipline to the solution of real cases.
