ENEMLOS has the aim of bringing reality in the classroom will enhance student employability, which is currently one of the most pressing issues in Montenegrin economy and society in general. To that end, in order to provide more possibility for young lawyers to reach first employment, the plan is to create a live legal clinic. The legal clinic would be providing legal advice by students, under the supervision of qualified lawyers and mentors at the clinic, which mitigates fears of potential incompetence. One of the most important benefits of this legal clinic will be that it will allow access to legal advice and information to the poor and socially disadvantaged groups of society who do not have sufficient financial means and cannot get information in any other way simply because they cannot afford a lawyer. Namely, there is a strong need in Montenegro for this type of legal aid since the existing social situation such that it leaves many without sufficient financial capacity to obtain professional legal advice and representation. All students will be organized into groups specializing in particular areas of law, which are recognized to be of the greatest importance for the live clients of the Clinic. The groups are: International – human rights, Criminal law, Commercial law, Property law, Family law, Heritance law, and Obligation law. Although the legal clinics are generally focused on providing advice to live clients with low incomes or those that do not have access to legal aid, since the Commercial law clinic exist in the curriculum of the FoL UoM we will try to engage the students at this clinic in providing of the legal services to start-up companies on commercial and corporate law, if this proves to be necessary in the realisation of this clinic, or to facilitate the identification of the candidates for the international moot court competitions in the field of Commercial and international law, under Commercial Law Clinics.
