Externship Site Inspections: Fitting Well-Rounded Programs Into The Four Corners Of The Aba Guidelines, William Wesley Patton

Clinical Law Review

Robert Seibel and Linda Morton recently charted the demographics of externship programs. They lauded "the incredible diversity of programs which currently exist," but warned that the American Bar Association's (ABA) "micromanagement" regulatory approach which focuses on "content review" rather than addressing "institutional support" will serve as a decrement rather than an enhancement of externship programs. This is a companion essay which focuses not on who we are, but rather on whom the ABA wants us to be and the methods employed during site inspections to insure uniformity. The empirical base was developed through an August 8, 1995 survey sent to …

Accepting The 1997 Aals Section On Clinical Legal Education Award For Outstanding Contributions To Clinical Legal Education, Awarded To Edgar S. Cahn And Jean Camper Cahn (Posthumously), Edgar S. Cahn, Clinical Law Review

Clinical Law Review

It is difficult to speak briefly of the extraordinary accomplishments of Edgar S. Cahn and Jean Camper Cahn in the fields of poverty law, human rights, and clinical legal education. These achievements, described eloquently by the University of the District of Columbia School of Law Faculty in their unanimous nomination of the Cahns for the Section's Award, have decisively shaped the meaning of the law for generations of lawyers and clients. The very existence of the legal services program, threatened though it is today, owes a great deal to the work of the Cahns, including their pathbreaking 1964 article, "The …

Testing The Grades: Evaluating Grading Models In Clinical Legal Education, Stacy L. Brustin, David F. Chavkin

Clinical Law Review

In 1994, the JOURNAL OF LEGAL EDUCATION published a survey of grading practices at law schools across the United States. That survey revealed a mix of grading approaches for clinical programs. 31 percent of all clinical courses used a fully-graded model; 33 percent graded students on a pass/fail basis; and 16 percent utilized both graded and pass/fail models. The article did not attempt to evaluate qualitatively the effectiveness of the various grading models. At about the same time that this article was published, clinicians teaching in Columbus Community Legal Services (CCLS) of The Catholic University of America were reconsidering the …

Striving To Teach "Justice, Fairness, And Morality", Jane Harris Aiken

Clinical Law Review

By far the most challenging value is the injunction to strive to promote justice, fairness, and morality. Arguably, the first value, the provision of competent representation, can be fostered by effective skills training. The third value, striving to improve the profession, can be fostered through active participation in the Bar. The fourth value, professional self-development, appears to be mainly concerned with effective Continuing Legal Education programs that enhance lawyers' ability to learn through experience. Yet methods of promoting the second value are not only less obvious than they are for the other three values, but also more difficult. The MacCrate …

A Field Trip To Benetton ... And Beyond: Some Thoughts On "Outsider Narrative" In A Law School Clinic, Carolyn Grose

Clinical Law Review

One of the goals of clinicians as teachers is to train law students to listen to, hear and retell their clients' stories. This task is complicated by the fact that the students - who are for the most part white and middle-class, and by definition college-educated - inhabit a world vastly different from - indeed some might say diametrically opposed to - the world inhabited by the clinic's client population, which generally tends to be poor people with a limited education, and for the most part people of color. Given these differences, students' ability to hear and believe their clients' …

Voicing Differences, Margaret E. Montoya

Clinical Law Review

Jane Aiken and Kimberly O'Leary undertake the difficult work of developing specific approaches and techniques for taking account of characteristics such as race/ethnicity, gender, dis/ability, and sexual identity in clinical pedagogy. Carolyn Grose uses outsider narratives and popular culture to challenge the "pre-understanding" of students, and to assist them to accept client stories as true and valid. Focusing on the professional value of striving to promote justice, fairness, and morality identified in the MacCrate Report, Professor Aiken exhorts us to promote justice by unmasking privilege, the invisible package of unearned assets- about which I (we? or you?) was "meant" to …

Small Business And Community Economic Development: Transactional Lawyering For Social Change And Economic Justice, Susan R. Jones

Clinical Law Review

Small business and community economic development (CED) clinics represent an important and growing component to the future of clinical legal education. The national political trend is away from government entitlements and toward personal responsibility and economic self-sufficiency. This shift has encouraged the growth of more small business and CED clinics at law schools. This article analyzes the benefits to clinical legal education of these transactional clinics' in contrast to more traditional clinics by exploring these clinics contribution to the development of the skills and values sought to be taught through clinical legal education. Part I explains the importance of microbusinesses …

Setting Standards For Parenting - By What Right?, James G. Dwyer

Faculty Publications

Mental health professionals, like other professionals involved in family
matters, feel constrained when advocating for the interests of children by the belief
that parents are entitled to custody and control of their children's lives, regardless of
what others may think of their parenting behavior, absent severe harm to the children.
This belief is morally untenable, and the legal doctrine of parental rights that is its
concrete embodiment is inconsistent with other well-established legal principles and
should be abandoned. Children alone should have legal rights in connection with their
upbringing, and those rights should include an entitlement to much higher standards …

Popular Education: Adult Education For Social Change, Sandra Kerka

Partnerships/Community

Popular education is a form of adult education that encourages learners to examine their lives critically and take action to change social conditions. It is "popular" in the sense of being "of the people." Popular education emerged in Latin America in the 1960s-1970s; Paulo Freire is its best known exponent. However, its roots may be found in the French Revolution, in workers' education of the 1920s-1930s, and in such movements as the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee (Beder 1996; Jeria 1990). The goal of popular education is to develop "people's capacity for social change through a collective problem-solving approach emphasizing …

A Resource Document For The Development Of An Alternative Education Program For Disruptive Youth, Deborah Claunch

Masters Theses

This qualitative study developed a model for an alternative education program for disruptive students in grades 6 through 8 in Franklin and Williamson Counties in Southern Illinois. It was facilitated by the issuance of grant funds to the Regional Offices of Education by the Illinois State Board of Education under the Safe Schools Act of 1995.

The desire of the researcher was to develop a program that would lead to changes in behaviors, promote academic achievement, and return students to the regular school environment with fewer incidents of misbehavior. The outcomes of this qualitative study resulted in a comprehensive resource …

Third Generation Of Service-Learning Research Yields More Thorough Data, Dale A. Blyth, Peter C. Scales

Service Learning, General

The first and second generations of studies on service-learning, encompassing an era from the 1960s to the early 1990s, can be said to have consisted largely of:

1. research on experiential learning and community service in general (but not service-learning as we define it today); and

2. research conducted specifically on servicelearning programs, but having numerous methodological shortcomings.
