Combining Simulations and Live-Client Clinics in Addressing Cross-Cutting Topics: The Best of Both Worlds

Abstract

Today legal education is expected to achieve sometimes incompatible and competing goals. Contemporary global challenges also give rise to constant adaption and rethinking of teaching methods used at law schools. The learning habits of the new generations call for a student-centred approach. As shown by the example of two clinical methods used at the Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb, clinical legal education is perfectly capable of tackling all these challenges, thus answering both the needs of the modern society and expectations of future lawyers.
