The Welfare Law Program deals with fundamental issues relating to various aspects of low-income population, emphasizing the causes of poverty and the functions of the welfare state. The practical component of the program combines the provision of legal aid to individuals, in both labor and welfare law, with attempts to promote broad social changes in these areas of law, while coordinating with relevant social and community organizations. The practical work takes place both in the university and in various outreach community projects. Various advocacy methods are being used, such as legislation, litigation, grass-root empowerment for action, legal research, and more. The clinical experience of the students is enriched by a weekly seminar conducted by the academic supervisor, which brings a theoretical analysis and criticism of the Israeli welfare state. In addition, the clinic deals with the role of lawyers as agents of social change, considering ethical and strategical aspects of welfare law and lawyering. Some of the weekly meetings are dedicated to discussion of the cases that the students handle.

The program is directed by Dr Guy Mundlak, attorney Itai Svirski, attorney Ora Bloom, attorney Dana Freibach -Heifetz.
