Clinical legal education is to a law student what a session in the laboratory is to a science student. Clinical legal education serves as the critical link between theory and practice.
The global movement on clinical legal education has achieved great success, especially in the US, yet legal clinics in India are still at an initial stage. Clinical legal work here is mostly done by a few social activists, and at a handful of progressive law schools.
At the forefront of legal clinics in India are legal literacy programmes organized by the National Legal Services Authority and the State Legal Services Authority. The majority of the funding being spent on these projects comes from the government, but new sources of finance need to be explored through focus on market research and greater industry sponsorship.
