Clinical teaching reflects the need to combine theory in the
teaching of the law and practical skills. It creates the possibility
of „being a lawyer” still at the stage of university education.
Currently, legal clinics program was introduced at all Polish law
schools – both public and private. The essence of legal clinics is
to enable students to acquire the necessary skills in „safe” conditions
under the guidance and supervision of the academic teachers.
It should be remembered that the aspect of teaching is the
primary purpose of the law clinics. This means that regardless
of the social mission, the clinics give free legal assistance to poor
people, it is as if only „side effect” of the educational process.
