The Rennes Law Clinic (Clinique du Droit de Rennes) is a student-run non-profit association founded in 2017 within the Faculty of Law and Political Science at the University of Rennes (Brittany, France). It is dedicated to promoting access to justice by providing free legal information to individuals and legal entities.

Each year, the Clinic brings together highly committed law students who put their knowledge into practice by assisting hundreds of clients. As a true experiential learning structure, it offers a demanding environment in which students engage with the practical realities of the law, developing rigour, critical thinking, and a strong sense of responsibility. Over time, the Clinic has grown significantly, consolidating its role as a key contributor to improving effective access to justice.

Legal consultations are carried out by students holding, or currently pursuing, at least a bachelor’s degree in law, including trainee solicitors and notaries. These consultations take place either in person at the Faculty or remotely via videoconference, under the supervision of legal professionals (solicitors, notaries, and in-house counsel), ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the information provided.

The Clinic’s core activities consist of organising legal consultations and information sessions across a wide range of fields, including family law, employment law, immigration law, health law, commercial law, and criminal law.

In addition, the Clinic develops complementary initiatives such as publishing educational materials reviewed by academic staff, and organising workshops and conferences in collaboration with legal professionals and partner organisations.

While most requests originate from the Brittany region, the Clinic also receives enquiries from across France, French overseas territories, French citizens living abroad, and foreign nationals seeking guidance on French and/or European law.
