Details

This accessible How To Guide provides practical, expert guidance on how to successfully set up and run a law clinic. Donald Nicolson, JoNel Newman and Richard Grimes explore the process of designing a clinic to address unmet legal needs, enhance student learning, and maximise the additional benefits of a clinic.

How to Set up and Run a Legal Clinic is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of running a clinic. Based on the authors’ first-hand experience, the book analyses a variety of day-to-day issues that can arise when setting up a law clinic and provides invaluable solutions to these commonly occurring challenges. In investigating how clinics may be run, and what services they can provide, the book investigates possible tensions between educational and social justice objectives, and how they may be resolved to meet these dual aims. The book examines how the expectations of all stakeholders, including those with regulatory oversight of clinical activities, can be managed and met.

Those working within law schools who are wishing to set up or expand law clinics will find this book to be highly useful. It will be a valuable resource for those aiming to enhance employability and experiential learning offerings. Students, and legal practitioners, wishing to gain insight into the value of clinical work will also find this to be a helpful guide.
