Clinics for free legal aid at the Faculty of Law of UCG are an excellent way to combine theory and practice. They enable students to actively participate in the preparation of court proceedings and thus acquire knowledge and practice, and provide significant help to vulnerable groups of society, was assessed during the visit of professors from the Faculty of Law of the University of Zagreb and the Faculty of Law of the University of Montenegro to the Supreme Court of Montenegro. The visit was realized as part of the activities of the ENEMLOS project, in which the Supreme Court of Montenegro, together with other judicial bodies, is a partner institution, while the Faculty of Law in Podgorica is the main coordinator of the project. "For the acquisition of legal knowledge and skills, education through the simulation of trials, the analysis of court practice and mentoring in the preparation of opinions is important," said the Acting President of the Supreme Court, Dr. Vesna Vučković, expressing her satisfaction with the fact that young people are taking over the baton in helping vulnerable groups of persons, who need it. The clinic for free legal aid at the Faculty of Law in Podgorica started working in mid-May this year. For the needs of the clinic, which works all day, with the help of funds from ENEMLOS, valuable equipment was purchased, books worth 8,000 euros on legal topics, as well as Epsko and Kluwer databases. Funds for the adaptation of the premises with the help of the dean Prof. Dr. Anete Spaić was provided by the University. Prof. Dr. Biljana Đuričin pointed out that 35 students applied to work at the Clinic, whose primary motive was to gain practice, and not to get additional points during evaluation. "In the future, when preparing opinions at the request of parties from vulnerable categories, students will be mentors from the judiciary, the Bar Association, the Chamber of Public Executors, the Notary Chamber, the Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution and the State Prosecutor's Office," said Đuričin. During the meeting, it was concluded that the Croatian model of the clinic for free legal aid is the most acceptable for Montenegro. Head of the Law Clinic at the Faculty of Law in Zagreb, prof. Dr. Alan Uzelac, said that this practice came to life in Croatia in 2010, after the Law on Free Legal Aid was adopted two years earlier. "The clinic currently handles about a thousand cases per semester, and since its establishment, it has helped almost 15 thousand citizens in their cases. "Now it has become a practice that even the courts recommend the parties to use the Clinic's free legal assistance," Uzelac pointed out.

The interlocutors also assessed that Croatia's experience will be significant for Montenegro when amending the Law on Free Legal Aid
