What is the difference between a Science Shop for Law and a Bureau for Legal Aid?
Bureaux for Legal Aid (Legal Aid Clinics) differ from the current Science Shops for Law (which exist as de-centralised science shops in The Netherlands). The latter do not focus on individual problems or legal aid, but conduct research on legal themes that comprise issues for civil organisations – or general questions coming from Bureaux for Legal Aid. Bureaux or Clinics for Legal Aid that exist in many countries today, may thus in fact be clients of the current Science Shops when seeking support, be it inside the Law-discipline or in technical/social matters.
