FL Legal Clinic

Master’s students, providing free legal assistance to disadvantaged persons, are involved in the work of the Legal Clinic of the Faculty of Law (FL) of the University of Latvia (UL). Before starting work, students acquire knowledge in the communication psychology, ethics of a lawyer, case research, time planning and other topics. Customers are primarily consulted on labour and housing rights, as well as in maintenance cases, without excluding other issues. Students receive credit points for their work at the Centre. During their work students are consulted by faculty teaching staff and UL graduates – legal practitioners.
