La Clinique du Droit de Casablanca

What La Clinique du Droit de Casablanca does

La Clinique du Droit de Casablanca (legal name: Clinique Juridique de Casablanca; also known as Casablanca Legal Clinic) is a non-profit academic law clinic established in 2015 and housed within the Faculté des Sciences Juridiques, Économiques et Sociales Ain Chock at Université Hassan II de Casablanca. The clinic operates a dual-purpose model: it delivers free legal consultation services to the Moroccan public while providing hands-on clinical legal education to law students at the undergraduate, Master's, and PhD levels under the supervision of faculty 'clinical professors.' Its beneficiary base comprises individuals and vulnerable populations seeking free legal guidance across eight practice areas: family law, labor law, migration and refugee law, sports law, business/commercial law, environmental law, children's rights, and digital law.

The clinic's service workflow is technology-light and process-driven: individuals submit legal questions through a website form or in-person at the Faculty of Law, questions are assigned to student researchers who conduct documentary research and case-law analysis, the file is reviewed and validated by clinical professors, and a documented response is returned to the requester. The clinic's physical infrastructure includes private consultation rooms, a law library, collaborative workspaces, and audiovisual-equipped training rooms. Its digital footprint extends across Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, a dedicated YouTube channel, and a Spotify-hosted legal podcast, which function as outreach and legal-literacy channels rather than service delivery platforms.

The clinic's business model is non-commercial. All legal assistance is provided free of charge, and the organization generates no direct revenue from service delivery. Operating viability rests on institutional backing from Université Hassan II, strategic partnerships (notably with Enabel and Droit des Femmes), and a broader ecosystem of 10+ civil society, public, and private institutional partners that contribute case referrals and in-kind support. Complementary offerings — a Summer Clinic internship program, YouTube educational content, and a Spotify legal podcast — extend the clinic's educational and awareness mandate beyond its core consultation service. The organization employs a small core team of 17 around a 400+ member community of students, lawyers, teachers, professors, and legal professionals.
