Abstract

This article examines the present situation of legal education in Italy. What becomes readily clear is that practical elements are almost totally absent from legal education, which remains largely theoretical. Though some attempts have been made at making legal education more practical, it is only after graduation that students, by and large, will have to become familiar with the practical side of the law.

Keywords: Italy, legal education, theory, practice
