In this article, the authors address the issues of the functioning of legal clinics operating

at higher educational institutions, their origins and a detailed analysis of the current

state. The study presents the point of view that legal clinics and the development of clinical

education, in general, can largely determine the more effective and high-quality work of

law enforcement agencies, including prosecution authorities and administration of justice.

The authors describe the experience of interaction between the “Academic Center for Legal

Protection” legal clinic at the Department of Civil Procedure of the Ural State Law University,

and the Prosecutor’s Office of the Leninsky District of Yekaterinburg. Among the results of

this interaction, it is noted that social adaptation and professional orientation of students are

carried out through communication with applicants and prosecutors, reducing social tension

in society, since a citizen who has not received an “understandable” explanation, resolving

an issue from the prosecutor can always count on free legal advice from representatives of

the legal clinic, as well as the fact that prosecutors can significantly reduce the burden on

employees in the field of prosecutorial response to violations of the rights and freedoms of

citizens in disputes arising from civil law and other legal relations.

Keywords: legal clinic; prosecutor’s office; clinicians; jurisprudence; legal education.
