ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ONLINE LEGAL CLINICS IN ENHANCING PRACTICAL SKILLS FOR LAW STUDENTS

"The Legal Clinic" is a programme that teaches aspiring attorneys how to apply their academic knowledge and abstract ideas to real-world legal challenges, as stated in one description of the programme. Not only is the notion of a legal clinic relatively new, but the concept of a legal clinic itself has been around for quite some time. For the purpose of providing students of law with the opportunity to get experience with real-world law, which includes court processes and interpersonal issues, legal clinics have come into existence. Within the context of industrialised countries, both institutions and literature pertaining to legal clinics were written. Individuals who had graduated from law school were consequently skilled at applying the theoretical information they had acquired. It is unfortunate that Turkey does not make advantage of the approach, given the widespread respect that it has across the globe. As a consequence of this, students who graduate from law school in Turkey are seldom equipped with information that is suitable for actual situations. Consequently, since there is a gap between theory and practice, students are not adequately equipped to apply their knowledge when they are presented with circumstances that are taken from real life. The primary emphasis of this study is on the procedures that must be followed in order to establish a legal clinic in Turkey. Law students will have the opportunity to get practical experience by using the information they have gained in the classroom, and the road to justice will be paved with ease and speed.
