Description
Clinical Legal Education (CLE) can be defined in broad terms as the study of law through real, or simulated, casework.
It enables students to experience the law in action and to reflect on those experiences.
CLE offers an alternative learning experience to the traditional lecture/seminar method and allows participants to take the study of law beyond the lecture theatre and library.
CLE has been a part of English law schools for several decades and is becoming an increasingly popular component of a number of programmes.
It is also well established in North America, Australia and many other countries around the globe.
In some law schools, CLE is credit-bearing; in others, it is an extracurricular activity.
Some CLE schemes focus on social-welfare law, whilst others are commercially orientated.
A number are run in conjunction with third-sector organisations and many are supported by private practice law firms.
This edited collection brings together academics, lawyers, third-sector organisations and students to discuss the present experience and potential of CLE.
As such, it will be of interest to a wide and diverse audience, both within and outside the UK.
