Book Synopsis Australian Clinical Legal Education by : Adrian Evans
Download or read book Australian Clinical Legal Education written by Adrian Evans and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical legal education (CLE) is potentially the major disruptor of traditional law schools’ core functions. Good CLE challenges many central clichés of conventional learning in law—everything from case book method to the 50-minute lecture. And it can challenge a contemporary overemphasis on screen-based learning, particularly when those screens only provide information and require no interaction. Australian Clinical Legal Education comes out of a thorough research program and offers the essential guidebook for anyone seeking to design and redesign accountable legal education; that is, education that does not just transform the learner, but also inculcates in future lawyers a compassion for and service of those whom the law ought to serve. Established law teachers will come to grips with the power of clinical method. Law students struggling with overly dry conceptual content will experience the connections between skills, the law and real life. Regulators will look again at law curricula and ask law deans ‘when’?

It identifies the contributions that clinical programs can make to student learning, social justice, community engagement and research.

Download or read book Best Practices written by Adrian Evans and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The clinical experience for law students is an invaluable part of any law degree. Clinical Legal Education operates in a similar way to hospital placements that are offered to medicine students, by providing a dynamic environment where law students can combine theory with practice. The clinical experience places the law in its sharpest context, by challenging students with real clients and real legal issues. For most, it is the first time they can actively engage with the way in which legal principles operate in the community, and observe the role of law in both facilitating and prohibiting the administration of social justice. Of the 29 law schools in Australia, 20 provide a clinical legal education to students in one way or another. Each clinical program is unique and the various legal issues dealt with in these clinics range from generalist legal practice, right through to specialist areas such as: environmental law; sexual assault compensation; human rights; refugee and immigration law; and anti-terrorism criminal defence. Each clinic is not only an asset to the community, but a forum through which Australia's law students can strengthen their practical legal education. The Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT) project (previously known as the Australian Learning and Teaching Council Ltd or ALTC project) is a federally-funded project, led by Professor Adrian Evans of Monash University. Along with partner institutions from across Australia, the project aims to develop a set of standards for effective clinical legal education, and to assist in the renewal of University law curricula in Australia. The project will investigate current practices in clinical programs with the aim to explore the different approaches to clinical learning and effective practice. The views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the Office for Learning and Teaching"--Website.

Book Synopsis Reimagining Clinical Legal Education by : Linden Thomas
Download or read book Reimagining Clinical Legal Education written by Linden Thomas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis The Global Evolution of Clinical Legal Education by : Richard J. Wilson
Download or read book The Global Evolution of Clinical Legal Education written by Richard J. Wilson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, the methodologies of legal education have not changed in any fundamental way, some methods dating back hundreds of years. Law schools have relied, for too long, on passive learning methods such as lectures or cases. Clinical legal education provides an alternative that is more than just another pedagogical method. It provides a way for students to experience their emerging professional selves, while providing services or projects with poor and underrepresented clients. This book documents both the historical origins of clinical experiments in the earliest days of US university legal education, and the now-global reach of clinical pedagogy as a proven tool for effective training of legal professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Legal Education in the Digital Age explores how legal pedagogy and curriculum design should be modernised to ensure that law students have a realistic view of the future of the legal profession. Using future readiness and digital empowerment as central themes, chapters discuss the use of technology to enhance the design and delivery of the curriculum and argue the need for the curriculum to be developed to prepare students for the use of technology in the workplace. The volume draws together a range of contributions to consider the impact of digital pedagogies in legal education and propose how technology can be used in the law curriculum to enhance student learning in law schools and lead excellence in teaching. Throughout, the authors consider what it means to be future-ready and what we can do as law academics to facilitate the knowledge, skills and dispositions needed by future-ready graduates. Part of Routledge’s series on Legal Pedagogy, this book will be of great interest to academics, post-graduate students, teachers and researchers of law, as well as those with a wider interest in legal pedagogy or legal practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen social justice emerge as a powerful driver for work, both in law schools and the legal services sector.

Book Synopsis A History of Australian Legal Education by : David Barker
Download or read book A History of Australian Legal Education written by David Barker and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Australian Legal Education examines the history and development of legal education in Australia by tracing the establishment of university law schools and other forms of legal education in the States and Territories from the time of European settlement in 1788 to the present day. While early Australian legal education was founded on historic practices adopted in England and Wales over many centuries, the circumstances of the Australian colonies, and later States, have led to a unique historical trajectory.The book considers the critical role played by legal education in shaping the culture of law and thus determining how well the legal system operates in practice. In addition, it examines a major challenge for legal educators, namely, the tension between 'training' and 'educating', which has given rise to a plethora of inquiries and reports in Australia. In the final analysis, it argues that legal education can satisfactorily meet the twin objectives of training individuals as legal practitioners and providing a liberal education that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge and transferable skills.

Book Synopsis Failing Law Schools by : Brian Z. Tamanaha
Download or read book Failing Law Schools written by Brian Z. Tamanaha and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-06-18 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An essential title for anyone thinking of law school or concerned with America's dysfunctional legal system.” —Library Journal On the surface, law schools today are thriving. Enrollments are on the rise and law professors are among the highest paid. Yet behind the flourishing facade, law schools are failing abjectly. Recent front-page stories have detailed widespread dubious practices, including false reporting of LSAT and GPA scores, misleading placement reports, and the fundamental failure to prepare graduates to enter the profession. Addressing all these problems and more is renowned legal scholar Brian Z. Tamanaha. Piece by piece, Tamanaha lays out the how and why of the crisis and the likely consequences if the current trend continues. The out-of-pocket cost of obtaining a law degree at many schools now approaches $200,000. The average law school graduate’s debt is around $100,000—the highest it has ever been—while the legal job market is the worst in decades. Growing concern with the crisis in legal education has led to high-profile coverage in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and many observers expect it soon will be the focus of congressional scrutiny. Bringing to the table his years of experience from within the legal academy, Tamanaha provides the perfect resource for assessing what’s wrong with law schools and figuring out how to fix them. “Failing Law Schools presents a comprehensive case for the negative side of the legal education debate and I am sure that many legal academics and every law school dean will be talking about it.” —Stanley Fish, Florida International University College of Law
