This handbook explains how university law clinics can be established, managed and used as a setting for legal education. Edited by Linden Thomas and Nick Johnson, it brings together guidance on the educational purposes of clinical work and the practical responsibilities involved when students participate in the delivery of advice or other legal services.
The book considers different models of clinic and the regulatory framework surrounding their operation, with particular attention to England and Wales. Topics include professional supervision, client care, insurance, confidentiality, referrals, quality assurance and student participation. Separate discussions address the assessment of clinical learning and the body of research on clinical legal education.
A substantial collection of precedent documents and other resources supports the explanatory chapters. Networks, further references and reflections from experienced practitioners provide additional routes into the subject. The volume is intended for those designing or running clinical programmes, students taking part in them and researchers interested in the relationship between practical experience, professional obligations and the teaching of law.
