Abstract

With the further advancement of legal education reform, clinical legal education, as an emerging teaching model, has gradually attracted increasing attention. It aims to improve law students’ legal skills and social practice capabilities through practical experience. However, after more than 20 years of development, current clinical legal education in China is confronted with various problems of “acclimatization”, including flaws in curriculum design and positioning, and the lack of specialized textbooks. These issues not only restrict the development of students’ practical abilities but also affect the quality and fairness of legal services. By analyzing the causes of these dilemmas, the reform of clinical legal education in Chinese universities should start from reshaping the theoretical and practical education system, ensuring the development of specialized textbooks, and other aspects, so as to explore a path of clinical legal education suitable for China’s localized development.
