Given out in class. For students, the clinic provides the opportunity to experiment innovative learning methods and at the same time, to out themselves to test by applying a complex comprehensive mix of skills, such as: conceptual analysis of legal issues, identification of the relevant facts of a give case, the drafting of acts and opinions, the development of social (??? non mi pare voglia dire niente) skills and problem solving abilities. In particular, experiential learning and active participation of students are key components of the clinical teaching method. By combining theoretical approach and traditional classes with a different way of studying law based on a learning-by-doing methodology, the Clinic pursues further aims such as: • showing the students that law shares not only a “technical” dimension but also a “social” one; • delving in depth both the legal dimension of a given case, and also its ethical and social implications. Students work in small groups (2-3 people), each group being supervised by a professor and a labour consultant.
Legal Clinic is a program of study aimed at teaching law through direct experience, according to the methodological approach of "learning by doing". It aims at raising students' awareness and professional sensitivity towards the needs of the disadvantaged people. The course is designed as combining work on real cases and teaching classes taught with experiential methods such as simulation, role-plays and games, which boost students to develop the necessary skills, values and ethics of law practice. The cases dealt with in the clinic for Labour Consultants can be classified as cases of "public interest" or of “social change”. The services provided by the Clinic are offered to disadvantaged people or groups facing socio-economic or cultural hurdles in the market (women, start-ups, communities). In these cases, the clinic provides free of charge and high-quality counselling which the client would not otherwise have access to, or relate to cases in which the protection of collective goods is concerned. Starting from 2018 one of the core item is related to inmates' rights.

Material given out in class.
The teaching method is "Indirect instruction", in which the learner acquires information by transforming stimulus material into a response that requires the learner to rearrange and elaborate on the stimulus material.
The evaluation of students's work takes into account the following factors: • regular attendance; • individual commitment; • quality of documents drafted (briefs, memos, letters, etc.); • reports on the activity performed, concerning not only the description of the case but also a reflection on students' experience in the Clinic in terms of personal growth and development.
At the very beginning of the course a syllabus is handed out to students. Depending on the development of the cases, the programme of the activities established in the syllabus may vary. Check on-line: http://www.clinicalegale.jus.unibs
