While the theoretical aspects of education equip one with the necessary knowledge, its practical component familiarises a person with the nuances and intricacies of the field.

The author in pursuance of the same has elucidated its concept and significance and has suggested the various roles a person belonging to the legal fraternity can play in the same. It further entails suggestions and remarks which if looked into, can contribute in flourishing the system of clinical education in the country.
