The application of procedural law at Spanish legal clinics

Abstract

The American clinical education model is not entirely exportable, to the Spanish model of legal education as a consequence of the functional and methodological differences that arises between both legal systems. The conceptualization of the Spanish legal clinic is reasonably tied to its functionality. As a starting point, the configuration of the Spanish clinical legal education is growing exponentially. With a developed social function of legal clinics, the pedagogical function must be accomplished for the perspective of the legal sciences. Although, the interconnection between both functions is not yet strongly established. The clinical treatment of the legal conflict should also be based on the perspective provided by Procedural Law.
