Digital technologies offer a wide range of opportunities to develop legal literacy. The Street-law method of legal education, which is widespread around the world, consists in providing information about law to non-lawyers by law school students, on the one hand fulfils the third role of the university and, on the other hand, develops a number of competences relevant for professional development and future employment, such as problem solving, effective communication, competences for lifelong learning, the ability to communicate clearly about law with lay people, etc. In the Street-law project course, students will first get acquainted with the Street-law method and its basic principles in direct teaching, then they will work on their own semester-long project focused on strengthening legal literacy using modern information technologies, targeting a selected marginalized group within the framework of project- and practice-oriented teaching with service-learning elements.
