Class of 2023 | Practical Law (PRR) 400 Module

The University of Pretoria Law Clinic (“UPLC”) forms part of the Faculty of Law and engages in Clinical Legal Education (“CLE”) for final-year LLB students. Practical Law is an elective module for final year LLB students in CLE, presented by qualified, practicing attorneys at the UPLC. The UPLC gives students the opportunity to #APPLY legal theory by providing legal-aid services to the indigent, thereby increasing access to justice. Students are trained in #PRACTICE for #PRACTICE.

we make today matter because we teach, learn, innovate, impact and live the UP way

Students’ daily tasks include consultations with clients, taking instructions, drafting correspondence, pleadings and notices, and mediating amicable solutions. These tasks are performed in groups of 8-10 students under direct supervision. Cases are consolidated weekly at the UPLC or via Blackboard Collaborate. The students’ practical exposure to a diversity of clients and contexts are enriching and exciting and ensures their ability to do the job, #FITFORPRACTICE.

We look forward to welcoming the incoming Class of 2024, #futurefocusedvision #collectivecollaboration
