As part of its commitment to strengthening clinical legal education, the Legal Clinic at the Faculty of Law and Political Science at An-Najah National University organized an educational visit for its students to the Nablus Court of First Instance and Magistrate Court on Wednesday, 11 March 2026. The visit aimed to enhance practical legal learning and bridge the gap between theoretical legal knowledge and the realities of judicial practice.


The visit sought to familiarize students with the structure of the court, its various departments, and the nature of its work. During the visit, students were introduced to the court’s operational procedures, including the work of the court, judicial file management, and the processes related to filing and following up on cases. This provided students with valuable insight into the practical aspects of judicial work and allowed them to observe firsthand the professional environment within judicial institutions.

The visit forms part of the Legal Clinic’s ongoing efforts to enhance the practical skills of law students and deepen their understanding of judicial procedures, thereby better preparing them for the legal labor market and strengthening their ability to connect academic study with practical experience in judicial institutions.

Students emphasized that the visit represented an important educational experience, helping them gain a clearer understanding of how courts operate and how judicial procedures are conducted, while also highlighting the critical role that judicial institutions play in upholding justice and reinforcing the rule of law.

Such activities also contribute to advancing several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4: Quality Education, by promoting practical legal education; Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, by enhancing students’ readiness for the labor market; and Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, by enabling students to better understand the functioning of judicial institutions and their role in promoting justice and the rule of law.

This visit is part of a broader series of educational and training activities implemented by the Legal Clinic at An-Najah National University aimed at strengthening practical legal education and expanding students’ opportunities to gain field-based professional experience.

It is worth noting that these activities are implemented within the framework of the project “Enhancing the Sustainability of the Legal Clinic,” funded by SAWASYA III and implemented in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), UN Women, and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), contributing to the advancement of clinical legal education and improved access to justice.
