Abstract
This article examines the interplay between theory, practice, and empiricism in the education and training of criminal law experts, encompassing both academics and practitioners. It emphasizes the significance of an integrated approach that recognizes the interdependence of theoretical, practical, and empirical knowledge. The discussion advocates for a more comprehensive and systematic exploration of the real-world dynamics of the criminal justice system. Drawing on comparative references, particularly from the U.S. legal system, the article provides insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with a model of criminal law education and training that embraces practical and empirical perspectives while adopting an interdisciplinary approach.
