The Legal Clinic also ensures that the information provided is quality information! To enable this, the information found by students is reviewed by legal professionals specializing in the subject in order to validate and guarantee its accuracy.
The principle of legal clinics is historically a creation of North American students who wanted to integrate practice into training which was then completely devoid of it and which remained extremely theoretical. This model American was exported to France for the first time in 2007, and in 2015 to Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and subsequently in 2019 to the IDAI.
Les étudiants de l'antenne égyptienne de la Clinique Juridique sont disponibles pour fournir gratuitement des informations juridiques a tout demandeur allant du droit des affaires au droit de la famille et des personnes en passant par le droit des etrangers, le droit social, le droit des femmes ou encore l'arbitrage et la médiation
