Criticisms of legal education have remained persistent over time, and the need for change and reform is a global concern. The current approach to legal education in civil law countries reflects the need to turn from a dogmatic to a problematic approach in order to consider both practical issues and social demands. Against this backdrop, the paper aims to explore the role played by clinical legal education in order to align continental legal education with this ambition, thereby making law school experiences more educational for students and, at the same time, promoting social justice and upholding the rule of law.

Abstract
Criticisms of legal education have remained persistent over time, and the need for change and reform is a global concern. The current approach to legal education in civil law countries reflects the need to turn from a dogmatic to a problematic approach in order to consider both practical issues and social demands. Against this backdrop, the paper aims to explore the role played by clinical legal education in order to align continental legal education with this ambition, thereby making law school experiences more educational for students and, at the same time, promoting social justice and upholding the rule of law.File in questo prodotto:
