Nowadays, legal clinics exist in almost every country in the world. The article examines the legal status of legal clinics in Ukraine to properly ensure the human right to legal aid. The author emphasizes that legal clinics are an important element of the legal aid institute. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to regulate the legal status of legal clinics, since in this way the state fulfills its obligation to guarantee the constitutional right of every person to receive legal aid. Even though legal clinics perform important social tasks, regulatory regulation of their activity is carried out only at the level of acts of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. All attempts to consolidate the legal status of legal clinics at the level of the law—for example, the Law “On Free Legal Aid” of June 2, 2011—remain unrealized. The author states that the issue of improving the legal regulation of relations involving legal clinics should be resolved in the near future. Moreover, the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainain Parlament) has recently started reforming its legislation in the field of advocacy. Therefore, there is a chance that the discriminatory norm of the Constitution regarding the lawyer’s monopoly on representation in court will be abolished. Thus, this will open the way to improving the status of legal clinics, as employees of such institutions will have the opportunity, in addition to legal advice, to represent their clients in court.

Este artículo examina el estado legal de estas clínicas en Ucrania, a fin de asegurar el derecho humano a la defensa legal. El autor destaca que las clínicas de derecho son un importante elemento institucional de la defensa legal. En consecuencia, existe una urgente necesidad de regularlas, para así poder cumplir con la obligación de garantizar del derecho constitucional de toda persona a recibir este tipo de defensa. Aunque las clínicas de derecho llevan a cabo un importante rol social, la regulación reglamentaria de su actividad se lleva a cabo solo a nivel de actos del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia ucraniano. Todos los esfuerzos de consolidar un estatuto legal de estas clínicas —por ejemplo, con la Ley sobre la defensa jurídica gratuita de 2 de junio de 2011— no han logrado culminar. Sobre todo, el Verkhovna Rada (el Parlamento ucraniano) ha comenzado recientemente la reforma de la legislación sobre los abogados. Por lo tanto, hay una oportunidad que la norma discriminatoria de la Constitución sobre el monopolio de los abogados para acudir a las cortes, resulte abolida. Por ello, se abre una vía para desarrollar el estatuto de las clínicas de derecho, donde los colaboradores de dichas instituciones tendrán la oportunidad, además de dar asesoría legal, de representar a sus clientes en las cortes.2019text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7190626(Revista) ISSN 1390-7794(Revista) ISSN 1390-440XIus Humani: Revista de Derecho, ISSN 1390-440X, Nº. 8, 2019, pags. 169-186engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
