从线下到线上:法律诊所教学的反思与创新

From Offline to Online:Innovation and Reflections of Legal Clinic Teaching

在法学教育中,法律诊所教学与理论讲授相对应,以培养学生法律的“实践性”与“应用性”为导向。但是,我国法律诊所教学长期面临师资短缺、经费不足、案源匮乏的困境。审视他国教学经验,如通过与法律援助结合扩大经费支持;积极扩展第二课堂;丰富诊所教学的培养目标等手段,对我国具有借鉴意义。由于线上教学具备进一步整合师资配置、压缩经费支出、丰富案件来源等多项优势,为我国法律诊所教学提供了改革契机。在法律诊所教学从线下转移至线上后,可以采用线上法律服务、线上实务训练、线上实务经验分享等多种途径进行诊所教学,以突破原有的局限。同时,还应积极促进校际合作平台建设、加强线上教学信息的安全保障,以促进线上教学改革顺利进行。
