Clinical Realism: Simulated Hearings Based On Actual Events In Students' Lives, Samuel R. Gross
Clinical Realism: Simulated Hearings Based On Actual Events In Students' Lives, Samuel R. Gross
Articles
This essay describes a novel clinical format, a simulation course that is based on students' testimony about actual events in their own lives. The two main purposes of the course, however, are not novel. First, I aim to teach the students to be effective trial lawyers by instructing them in the techniques of direct examination and cross-examination and by making them sensitive to the roles of the other courtroom players: the witness, the judge, and the jury. Second, I hope to encourage the students to think about the social and ethical consequences of our method of trying lawsuits.
