Abstract

The Clinical Legal Education movement expanded from the United States to the world, as well as to more than one hundred and fifty European universities, among which Spain currently has the Spanish Network of Legal Clinics that adds twenty-six legal clinics from various Spanish universities. In this article we will analyse how to promote the transfer of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDGs) to civil society, professional, academic, etc., through the use of the clinical methodology of legal education, with special attention to the Coordinated Teaching Innovation Programme (TIP) of the Legal Clinics of the University of Oviedo that deals with the introduction of the SDGs in the learning-service of legal clinics.
