“…In a law clinic within a university, students enrolled in clinical programs deepen their understanding of what lawyers do in practise and build frameworks for professional work. 113 Clinical students are provided with the opportunity to gain practical legal experience working on real legal matters and putting their academic preparation into practice. If this is the aim of CLE, then it is important to ensure that clinical educators implement effective supervision to enable students to make the most of the learning opportunities presented by clinic-based experiences.…”

This article considers the effect of the shift to virtual delivery of clinical legal education (CLE) that was necessitated by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on students and the lessons learned from students’ perspectives, especially regarding supervision, for clinical best practice going forward. Much of the recent scholarship on the effects of the pandemic has focused on the clients of clinical programs and the challenges of responding to heightened client service needs at a time of economic dislocation and widespread movement restrictions. This was a particular issue in the city of Melbourne, Australia, where residents faced some of the longest and most onerous lockdowns in the world. This article focuses on students of clinical programs and the role of supervision practices in facilitating students’ learning during this challenging period.

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.
