This practice module can also be undertaken in a courtroom or institution approved by the coordinator.

The methodology is eminently practical and tailored to the peculiarities of the field where the training is carried out, whether in a professional office or in a courtroom. It is based on the analysis and resolution of legal issues upon which opinions are issued, reports and opinions are drafted, or procedural documents are formulated.

It should be noted that in this context, dynamics and methodologies characteristic of cooperative and participative work are highly prevalent.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
