The work of students in the legal clinic also plays an important role from the point of view of sociology, since students can get information about the statistics of client requests, which will allow them to use this data in sociological research. Understanding the empirical material obtained in the course of legal consulting can be used for writing master’s and PhD theses. That is, the range of application of the results of students ‘ work in the legal clinic is quite wide and can be used both in one area, but vertically (at different educational levels); and in different professional branches horizontally (in law, law enforcement, sociology, psychology, etc.).
