This paper addresses the
issue of vulnerability within the perspective of legal clinics. Both the
theoretical background adopted by legal clinics and the pursuit of access to justice as the primary
objective of their activities are explored assuming as a case study the experience of a clinic in-
volved in supporting victims of the trafficking of human beings.
Describing the approach taken by the legal clinic in approaching such a particularly vulnerable
group offers the opportunity to deepen the potential of this method to explore t he practical di-
mension of the law.
