The rights of women and children are frequently violated. All these issues have posed various challenges provide effective implementation of human rights laws. Clinical Legal Education and the concept of legal aid acquires its significance in implementing the human rights. Clinical Legal Education is seen as an effective tool for law teaching and social justice but the potential of this tool has not been realized completely and till date this form of legal education has remained underdeveloped or undeveloped on many counts. The problems faced by law clinics and legal aid cells are multi facet and there are ambiguities in the approaches adopted by clinicians and tutors. The role of Clinical Legal Education in realizing the human rights has been a key factor.The multidimensional expanding horizons of human rights norms and principles requires clinical legal education to explore means to ensure access to justice in national legal system.
