- Abstract
The need to intensify the educational process in higher education is due to the social order of society, which aims to train specialists who can be competitive in the labor market, including through the introduction of adaptive, practice-oriented and flexible educational programs, the formation of intolerance of corrupt behavior in students and a respectful attitude towards law. In the context of the current situation of Russia’s entry into the world educational space, the need for analysis and interpretation of the available foreign experience, which has proven its value and gained worldwide recognition, is growing. For comparison, we have identified the forms of organizing the activities of legal clinics and training technologies. The value of the institute of legal clinics as an important stage on the path of professional development of a law student is seen in the student’s mastering the rules of the professional environment, testing his stay in the role of a lawyer. A legal clinic, as a complex innovation, a platform for legal education, becomes a necessary condition for increasing the effective formation of future lawyers’ professional competence in all areas of legal activity. Training in a legal clinic allows a student to fully comprehend their future profession, to acquire the skills of interviewing, consulting, drafting legal documents, and to look at real legal practice from the point of view of a human rights defender. A comparative analysis of the activities of legal clinics allows us to state that the development of clinical education in the future is obviously in demand by universities as one of the forms of professional training of lawyers. Such an analysis will allow for taking into account the positive experience and avoiding possible mistakes in improving the practical component of the educational process in law schools.
