The Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) Legal Clinic is a learning-based solidarity initiative lead by the UPF Faculty of Law. The aim of the Legal Clinic is to give vulnerable people and groups, who would not otherwise have access to legal services, access to UPF legal research and the professional experience of expert lawyers free of charge.

The UPF Legal Clinic is structured in two parts. Firstly, it provides an advice service to people without means who contact the Legal Clinic, either directly or through referral from an affiliated NGO. Secondly, the Legal Clinic identifies certain cases as having specific social and academic interest which are taken on as University Mentored Cases. In such instances the Legal Clinic creates a working group composed of a UPF Law Professor (with doctorate), three undergraduate law students in their final year and a specialist lawyer with expertise in the subject matter of the case.  The specialist practising lawyer assumes all responsibility for representation of the case on a pro bono basis (free of charge).  The working group works along-side the representing lawyer.

The Legal Clinic is not a law firm, consequently UPF as an institution does not provide any type of professional legal advice or legal representation services in Courts. All the lawyers who work with the Clinic do so on an individual basis and in their personal capacity, including those who are part-time UPF professors.
