Clinical legal education is presented as a novel method for achieving multiple skills in law students, their advantages are best appreciated in clinics of public interest, so that with its incorporation, they are interrelated or sometimes rupture occurs with traditional training methods. However, from the experience lived by the law program at the University of Ibague, has been able to appreciate the interrelationship between various methods, models or systems of learning, including the incorporated by the Human Rights and public interest Clinic, which allowed for students to acquire new skills and abilities to improve the problem solving strategies from high impact litigation, which allow proposing structural and lasting changes.
However, it has been clarified that it is not only the adoption of a method of clinical legal education, but is also betting on a clinical teaching of law that leads to an assumption of different responsibility in the training process of teachers, students and societies, rethinking the role of evaluation, where could be part of the training process and not be seen solely as a result of it, being necessary then constructing new instruments to realize the training process of students, in which they can demonstrate the competencies and skills acquired, based on the premise that evaluation is a “whole”.
