Media and public impact:
The Legal Clinic on Migration and Citizenship of the University of Roma Tre, founded by Enrica Rigo in 2010, was one of the first clinical programmes in Italy. This clinic combines experimental learning, research and public engagement. The research conducted by the clinic has had impact at national and international level. Among other things, the clinic took part in the legislation reform on the exploitation of workers which was approved in Italy in 2015; the research on judicial decision on migrant detention (http://www.lexilium.it/) has been quoted by international bodies, has led to hearings in front of the Group of Experts on Trafficking of the European Council (Greta) and to a collaboration with the Tribunal of Rome in the preparation of Country of Origin Information in asylum cases (http://protezioneinternazionale.giur.uniroma3.it/il-progetto/). Thanks to its public engagement, the Clinic has received considerable coverage in the print media (see: http://clinicalegale.giur.uniroma3.it/rassegna-stampa/) and on Italian national television (http://clinicalegale.giur.uniroma3.it/783-2/).
