Abstract

This article focuses on the continuing transformation of legal education and the role of clinical legal education in training competent, ethical practitioners. Part I examines the primary challenges that clinicians confronted in the past: to create a clinical legal education teaching methodology and to establish viable, enduring clinical programs in law schools throughout the country. Part II discusses a variety of different models for integrating clinical methodology either throughout the curriculum or as a core feature of the curriculum. Part III analyzes a variety of the most pressing challenges and opportunities for clinical legal education and the larger enterprise of legal education in the twenty-first century. Finally, Part IV describes a vision for clinical legal education in its “third wave”: the changes that can and should take place, and how this third wave of clinical legal education can contribute to improving the future of legal education, the competence of law graduates, and the quality of legal representation for clients.
