What is it about?
Appreciation of the Jury

Asylum law and the Law of Aliens are a mystery not only for refugees but often also for those who work in this or adjacent fields. Constant changes, lack of clarity, difficulties of interpretation seem as if intended by the law maker. The Platform Legal Advice takes action against these deficits and thus sets a socially innovative benchmark: in the languages of the most common countries of origin, with spoken information, graphically supported, compiled together with refugees, with fast recall of obsolete information.

A directory that deserves its name – it points the way towards legal certainty for refugees.
