Metodi didattici
La prima parte della Legal Clinic sarà strutturata in lezioni frontali, tuttavia gli studenti avranno la possibilità di interagire con il docente e di dialogare in maniera costruttiva. Agli studenti potrà essere chiesto di leggere del materiale proprio al fine di stimolare la discussione in aula.
Durante la seconda parte della Clinic gli studenti saranno invitati a svolgere una breve ricerca da presentare in classe. Lo scopo di tale attività sarà quello di applicare le nozioni teoriche apprese ad alcuni Paesi.
