The Hebrew University’s Clinical Legal Education Center (CLEC) is one of the country’s leading clinical centers. Guided by its philosophy to apply the law as a vehicle for social change and to promote justice for society’s most vulnerable groups and individuals, it offers the highest quality legal aid to a wide range of disadvantaged individuals and groups; and it actively engages law students in top-notch applied clinical and practical experience under the close guidance of Clinical Attorneys with expertise in specific fields. This substantial investment in the Faculty’s students has been proven worthwhile — following graduation, a majority remain committed to social responsibility as an integral part of the legal profession. The activities of the CLEC’s 9 Clinics comprise three main fields of activity: individual representation of clients in legal and other cases; initiating and advancing policy change and legal reform through roundtable discussions, participation in Knesset and other public committees, and draft position papers and shadow reports for government or international agencies; and education, awareness and empowerment on subjects arising from the Center’s cases and other activities by means of public outreach and educational activities.
