Development, Institutionalization, And Ensuring the Legal Protection of Youth Through Legal Clinics

Abstract

The article examines the development and institutionalization of legal clinics as an effective mechanism for ensuring legal protection of young people belonging to socially vulnerable and at-risk groups. It analyzes the concept of “youth at social risk,” identifies its main categories, and highlights key socio-economic and legal factors contributing to vulnerability and exclusion. Particular attention is paid to the need for a systematic approach to identifying at-risk youth through coordinated interaction among state authorities, educational institutions, local self-government bodies, and civil society organizations.
