The primary goal of the project is to ensure and improve employability of graduate law students, thru implementation of the most advanced methods in clinical practical education, thru organisation of the live client clinics.
The direct contact with the live clients at the legal clinics will give students the chance to practice law during their studies and to improve their lawyering skills not only thru simulated processes and theoretical studies.
Since the greatest concern and remark of the employers in previous period was identified as the deficiency in the practical skills of the graduating students, this project will greatly benefit not only the students, who are the primary beneficiaries of this project, but will also benefit the employers since they will be involved in the practical aspects of student education and will have the opportunity to directly shape their skills by their needs. Thus, the students attending the legal clinics will have better chance for employment. Students will have to address real issues and develop skills of advising, problem solving and creative thinking.
This project will indirectly benefit the professors and legal clinic educators (members of all legal professions) since they will thru improve their skills in practical legal education true the trainings and study visits, which will have a multiplicative effect in coming years since they will work with new generation of students each year, which will have a long term effect on law studies in partner countries, and improvement of the cooperation between faculties and judiciary, bar associations and governmental and nongovernmental organisations.
The students and the faculties of law form partner countries will assist the community, in any cases where the party cannot afford the attorney. They will receive free legal aid and representation, which will also have a greater impact on the exercise of the rights of the members of the vulnerable groups. This will also have the effect on the Montenegrin society as a whole because equal access to justice makes rule of law and more stable and healthier society.
