| Annotation: | According to paragraph 1 of Article 48 of the Basic Law of Russia, every citizen is guaranteed the right of access to professional legal assistance. The article considers the role of the legal clinic in the framework of improvement and develop- ment of scientific and educational activities of students in areas of training and specialties in the field of jurisprudence. Legal clinic is an important component of practical training of stu- dents, providing an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in solving real practical situations. It allows developing skills in drafting legal documents, legal analysis and interpretation of legal norms, as well as gives experience in communicating with clients — real people who have faced legal problems and life difficulties. In addition to the application of theoretical knowl- edge in practice, the legal clinic also forms personal qualities of students, including stress resistance, communication skills and the ability to work in a team. This allows by the end of the edu- cational program to fully meet the demands of modern employ- ers. The article describes the experience of implementation of the legal clinic in the educational programs for training lawyers of the Saratov State Law Academy. Special attention is paid to the educational (introductory) practice, which is mandatory for all students, and internship in the legal clinic, which acts as one of the directions of development of the practical part of the basic educational program of higher education. | ||
