ABSTRACT

This paper discusses various possibilities and perspectives for the future of Vietnamese CLE. Informed by the Vietnam Empirical Research and based on the current status of CLE in Vietnam, the paper has made suggestions for various directions for Vietnamese law schools to follow in addressing the challenges that face the adoption and incorporation of CLE in law curricula. These include choosing appropriate CLE models; designing CLE programs as accredited subjects in law curricula; and improving clinical supervision. In the current Vietnamese legal education system with various challenges, the Vietnam Empirical Research generally affirmed CLE as an appropriate educational strategy for the future. As the global advancement of CLE progresses, this opinion is widely and increasingly held among different legal education stakeholders in Vietnam. However, the success and long history of CLE elsewhere will not necessarily guarantee a similar result in Vietnam, given the differences in social, political, and legal systems. The future of Vietnamese CLE therefore will depend on how law schools, central government, relevant national agencies, and other legal education stakeholders in Vietnam regard and adopt clinical approaches in teaching law.

摘要

本文讨论了越南 CLE 未来的各种可能性和前景。本文以越南实证研究为基础，根据越南 CLE 的现状，为越南法学院在应对 CLE 纳入法律课程所面临的挑战时应遵循的各种方向提出了建议。其中包括选择合适的 CLE 模型；将 CLE 课程设计为法律课程中的认可科目；并改善临床监督。在当前面临各种挑战的越南法学教育体系中，越南实证研究普遍肯定CLE是适合未来的教育策略。随着CLE在全球范围内的进步，越南不同法律教育利益相关者越来越广泛地持有这种观点。然而，鉴于社会、政治和法律制度的差异，CLE 在其他地方的成功和悠久的历史并不一定能保证在越南取得类似的结果。因此，越南 CLE 的未来将取决于法学院、中央政府、相关国家机构和越南其他法律教育利益相关者如何看待和采用临床方法来教授法律。
