The list of participants was provided by three university and Kosovo Bar Association, and the total number of participants was 60 but not all of them participated during the training. The overall impression about the training was very positive from the participants. All the presentations provided by the trainers were very clear and very informative. Despite the fact that training was provided online, the staff and students of Law Faculty at the Zagreb University, provided practical sessions as well as by simulating a case at the simulated scene of live legal clinics. During the three-day training, the participants had enough time to make questions. The training was very interactive. Both presenters and participants shared information about the current state of play with regard to the regulatory framework on establishment of live legal clinics. From this training, Montenegro and Kosovo participants have understood that the establishment of live legal clinics requires a lot of voluntary efforts and as process will be followed with some legal and financial challenges. The participants learned how the Live Legal Clinics function and now they have a clearer view what should be done to establishment such type of clinics. The whole training was interactive and participants from Montenegro and Kosovo universities and non-academic institutions had a lot of questions in order to clarify many issues through special cases, its treatment in the legal clinics up to the insurance if any case was not solved or caused any damage.
