Student Legal Clinic

Launched in January 2005, the Legal  Clinic at the Kozminski University College of Law is part of the legal clinics program developed by several Polish universities. Kozminski University was first private school participating in the project.  At the legal clinic, students under the supervision of faculty and practitioners provide free legal advice for poor members of the community. One of the main goals of the program is to provide hands-on experience to law students.

It introduces students to social problems and enhances an awareness of poverty and human rights. It also fulfils the basic need of providing a society with free access to justice.
