Abstract
The paper discusses the process of modernization of Ukrainian legal education, in which special attention is paid to the practical training of future lawyers; an important role in this process belongs to clinical training. The value of a legal clinic as an organizational structure and a special training program is determined. The integration of these values allows us to define the nature of the legal clinic as an innovative method of teaching law students. The essence of the method is to develop students' professional competencies by considering "real" cases and solving real problems. The paper describes the content and program of clinical legal education, presents an innovative (clinical) curriculum that includes general and special training courses, areas of activity of the legal clinic and rules of legal work of students under the guidance of teachers to ensure free legal provision of services for low-income citizens. The author describes in detail possible field trips to provide free legal assistance and legal awareness to the public (reception of citizens in the offices of state and municipal institutions, legal assistance to non-governmental organizations, thematic seminars, walks, visits to the regions of the Republic, etc.). The author analyzes the role of the legal clinic in higher education institutions and its significance for students, teachers and clients.
