The Consumer Law Clinic<\/a> of the University of Luxembourg is the first European clinic exclusively dedicated to consumer law that is open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a law clinic?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law clinics seek to fulfil a twofold goal: first, to provide practical knowledge to law students; second, to support users by offering free orientation and information, which helps empower different disadvantaged communities. Their pedagogical, hands-on approach allows legal students to deal with real cases, while being fully supervised and guided by teachers and practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n
