Working with real people and discussing real problems often increases students' interest in legal issues, encouraging them to be more active in learning. Trying to solve real problems helps students learn to think critically. Clinical legal education can also provide students with hands-on experience through collaboration with stakeholders. The system of "practice", currently adopted in Central and Eastern Europe, provides students with the opportunity to do internships on the basis of practice during their studies. This will allow students to think about what field they will be working on in the future - or even whether they want to be a lawyer at all - at the stage of their studies that allows them to change the content of the learning process accordingly. As well as the opportunity to see their strengths and weaknesses before graduation. This, in turn, allows them to improve their knowledge together with teachers.
