Effective learning requires the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical experience. The off-campus study visit for Course 67849464: Seminar on Consumer Protection Law is designed to enhance students’ understanding of mediation procedures and consumer litigation through real-world exposure. This activity enables students to apply classroom knowledge in an authentic legal setting, thereby strengthening their professional competence, analytical skills, and readiness for future legal practice.
