The Legal Clinic takes students out of the classroom and into the spaces where law is actually practised — and it is a one-of-its-kind programme in the UAE. Each semester brings a new edition, with a different set of partner organisations and activities, so no two cohorts have the same experience.
Students have engaged directly with lawyers from firms such as Al Tamimi & Co, Clyde&Co, King & Spalding, Hadef & Partners, Al Aidarous, among others, as well as institutions like FANR — the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation — ArbitrateAD, and IRENA. They sit with these professionals, see how they work, hear what their day-to-day looks like, and engage with real legal questions across fields ranging from corporate law and dispute resolution to nuclear regulation and environmental law.
What makes this particularly meaningful is that the editions are documented on the SUAD website by the students themselves — they write about their experience, in their own words — and the website also carries testimonials from both the partner organisations and the students.
That record of lived experience is itself part of what the clinic produces. What the clinic teaches that the classroom cannot is the texture of practice: how a lawyer thinks under pressure, how they advise when the answer is not clear-cut, and what legal work actually feels like from the inside.
