The Interaction between the Legal Aid System and Legal Clinic Education in Chinese Universities based on the Perspective of Legal Knowledge Supply

Abstract

 The legal aid system in Chinese universities is an important supplement to the legal aid system in China, and another important layer of significance of legal aid in universities is that it is an important position for practical legal education, as opposed to the legal clinic courses introduced by foreign countries. The legal aid system in Chinese colleges and universities has limitations in its functioning due to its positioning, and the legal clinic course is not suitable for the existing curriculum system. Under the framework of legal practice education, the legal aid system in colleges and universities and legal clinic education are homologous and isomorphic, which makes it possible for the two to be closely integrated in the knowledge supply level of legal practice education. How the university legal aid system and legal clinic education should promote each other requires, on the one hand, the expansion of the scope of university legal aid and, on the other hand, the development of diversified funding channels.
