Abstract

ClinHab is the free consultation service on housing matters offered by the Legal Clinic on Housing and Residential Mediation (www.clinhab.com). It is the result of a teaching innovation project aiming to respond to queries posed by the general public, third sector entities and the public administration. Students in their third and fourth year of the Law Degree solve problems related to rent, mortgage or condominium, for example, under the tight supervision of professors and other collaborators (mainly lawyers, economists, mediators and financial experts with solid backgrounds in banking). This experience promotes innovation in teaching, since it entails the practical implementation of case-based learning, as well as promoting values of social awareness and justice that are essential to the legal profession.
