Law School Clinics as Legal Service Providers

Abstract | Word Stems | Keywords | Association | Citation | Get this Document | Similar Titles



Abstract:

In the 1960s, the growth in the clinical movement was supported by concerns about professional responsibility and an interest in making students aware of the social responsibilities of the legal profession. The scope of the clinical programs of this era focused on community service, and educational benefits were a secondary consideration. While the teaching model has become the predominant configuration for contemporary law school clinics, the debate continues within the academic community regarding the weight to be given a second goal for clinical education – that of addressing social justice through the provision of legal services to underserved populations.
Building upon interviews with 20 clinical law professors from six law schools located in a single metropolitan area, this paper identifies the factors that exert an influence on the construction of clinical programs and their place in law schools and in the legal services delivery market. It presents a picture of diversity in organizational philosophy, funding approaches, substantive coverage, community involvement, and client congregations both across and within the law schools.
