NCFU Law Institute hosted a business game in the format of a trial – students practiced their skills working with real legal cases.

The game was held as part of the regional program for improving financial literacy and protecting the rights of consumers of financial services and was organized by the Department of Legal Culture and Human Rights Protection. A difficult case turned out to be in the center of attention: the claim of an individual against a microfinance organization and a bank. The participants discussed a range of requirements, from invalidating the loan agreement to collecting compensation and refunding the funds paid.

The guest of the event, Yuri Suslov, Deputy Minister of Finance of the Stavropol Territory, shared with the guys his professional observations on how disputes between citizens and financial organizations are resolved in practice, and gave some advice to novice lawyers.

For students, the game became an opportunity to try on the roles of participants in the process, build a legal position and learn how to defend it in a reasoned manner in conditions as close as possible to a real trial.
