Abstract

This chapter is published in Building on Best Practices: Transforming Legal Education in a Changing World: Transforming Legal Education in a Changing World, published by Carolina Academic Press, 2015. Building on Best Practices is a follow-up to Best Practices for Legal Education, a project of the Clinical Legal Education Association (CLEA). With contributions from more than 50 legal educators, this new volume is not a second edition, but is intended to be used in conjunction with the original volume.

In the wake of new ABA Accreditation Standards, the MacCrate Report, and other changes, legal education is called upon today to respond to a broader view of what lawyers must be trained to do. Building on Best Practices identifies ten such areas and provides guidance on what and how to teach them. The demand to teach a broader range of knowledge, skills, and values presents difficult trade-offs, however, that are also considered.
