The Legal Clinic for Social Justice of the Faculty of Law of the Universitat de València is a space for promoting excellence in terms of graduate and postgraduate education. The students give advice for free under the supervision of professors and experts linked to the Universitat de València. The project was part of the programme Campus d'Excel·lència Internacional “VLC/CAMPUS. València, International Campus of Excellence”, which nowadays is a project of the Faculty of Law of the Universitat de València.

Since 2006, this innovative teaching activity has been offered. It uses the clinical methodology for the legal practice of Law students, while it gives free advice to NGOs, non-profit organisations and people without economic resources or in risk of exclusion.

The education model chosen by the Legal Clinic relates Law studies with the legal reality by offering to the students the possibility to know and be involved in real cases, especially in disadvantaged collectives. The objective is training jurists who are socially committed and aware of the inequalities and the fight against injustice. This means that they have a higher social awareness, in accordance with the social objectives of the public university. Interactive methods are used in the clinic methodology to teach the abilities and the necessary competences for the legal practice. In this way, students have the opportunity to work with real clients while their duties are supervised and guided by legal experts and professors within a well-structures and coherent system. Learning the method of the clinic is an educational experience process (learning by doing).
