According to Avani Bansal, in many law schools, clinical legal education is taught without the support of the practical component and there is a lack of policy. Participation in many of these legal clinics lacks academic funding. The lack of resources, the lack of trained professors, the lack of participation of members of the bar council lead to ineffective and weak clinical legal training in countries like India. The surrounding communities are not informed and therefore not involved. All of these aspects run counter to the effective purpose of the Legal Clinic in that it does not train students in practice and does not reach the public. [4] A legal clinic (also a legal clinic or law school clinic) is a legal aid or law school program that provides services to various clients and often hands-on legal experience to law students. Clinics are usually run by clinical professors. [1] Legal clinics typically operate pro bono in a specific area and provide free legal services to our clients. Students typically provide support in research, writing legal arguments, and meeting with clients. In many cases, one of the clinic`s professors will appear in court for oral proceedings. Hence the need for clinical legal training or the establishment of legal aid clinics in law schools where law students can provide legal advice to those in need. [4] Legal clinics were originally a method of hands-on teaching by law students, but today they also include free legal aid without academic ties.
[2] There are practice-oriented non-academic legal clinics that provide lawyers, judges, and non-lawyers with practical skills on the practical ethical dimensions of law while providing free legal services as part of public advocacy. [3].
