A Program in Honor of the Publication of The Global Evolution of Clinical Legal Education

04:00PM - 06:00PM Tenley Campus - Warren NT01 Ceremonial Classroom

A Program in Honor of the Publication of The Global Evolution of Clinical Legal Education  Book.

This book documents both the historical origins of clinical experiments in the earliest days of US university legal education, and the now-global reach of clinical pedagogy as a proven tool for effective training of legal professionals. Clinical legal education provides an alternative to traditional pedagogies used in law schools all over the world, which largely continue to rely on lecture or case methods. It is more than just another pedagogical method. It provides a way for students to experience their emerging professional selves, while providing services or projects with poor and underrepresented clients
