The legal clinic at the Faculty of Law and Political Science An-Najah National University organized intensive training for its students on legitimate consulting and applicable laws during a series of meetings held on the dates 2, 8, 9 and 15 December 2024. The training was provided by Mohammed Al-Atrash, the lawyer of the legal clinic, who focused on enhancing students' practical skills and enabling them to deal with legitimate issues professionally and efficiently.

Training included a number of important themes, notably the introduction of the applicable legal laws in Palestine, such as Family laws, and the provision of legal and professional consultations. The training also included training in the preparation of legal notes and counseling based on factual situations, which provided students with an opportunity to interact with practical cases presented in the sharia courts and enhance their understanding of the associated legal procedures.

The training aims to prepare students to deal with legitimate issues from a legal and practical perspective, thereby enhancing their ability to provide accurate and effective counselling. The training also contributes to the development of students' skills in linking theoretical education with practical practice, thereby enhancing their readiness to engage in the legal labor market.
