临床法学教育模式之理性思考——仿效临床医学教育模式

Rational Thinking about Educational Model of Clinical Law

临床法学教育是效仿临床医学教育模式,将在法院、检察院、律师事务所等法律实务部门进行的司法实习称为临床法学教育。我国高等法学教育在经历重建、恢复、迅速发展三次大转型时期之后有了很大的发展。但是,进入21世纪以后,由于相关机构对高等法学教育缺乏长远规划、设立审批把关不严,导致现在的高等法学教育规模过于庞大,并逐步向"市场化"、"产业化"的方向发展。更令人忧虑的是,临床法学教育一直是我国高等法学教育中最为薄弱的教育环节。法学和医学看似是两个相差很远的专业,但根据二者的特点又能从中发现它们之间存在一些共性和联系。为了培养和造就一批合格的专门法律人才,实现依法治国的宏伟目标,教育主管部门应当仿效临床医学教育模式,对高等法学教育模式进行必要的调整和改革。
