Abstract

Legal clinics are an appealing alternative comparing to traditional teaching in Law Schools. The implementation of the legal clinic has two fundamental topics, i.e., the teaching process and methodology. The present paper focuses on the strategies and work plan related to the Environmental Law Clinic and analyses the skills and activities to be conducted by the students and the role of professors. Thus, it is vital to have a comprehensive analysis of the theory behind the legal clinic, and then define the methodological guidelines that may be included in the study plan. Additionally, the environmental relevant actions are described to review the issues and the possible solutions. The idea is to provide an approach to the clinical methodology and incorporate it as a teaching method that merges the theoretical knowledge with the environmental law practice. Finally, the students’ active involvement is emphasized due to their compromise with social responsibility cases in their community.
