Western Europe: Last Holdout In The Worldwide Acceptance Of Clinical Legal Education, Richard J. Wilson Jan 2009

Western Europe: Last Holdout In The Worldwide Acceptance Of Clinical Legal Education, Richard J. Wilson

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Clinical legal education has achieved widespread acceptance throughout the world, growing by leaps and bounds during recent decades in countries like Russia and China, and expanding rapidly in other areas of Eastern Europe, Latin America and Africa. It is, arguably, the most significant innovation in legal education since the “invention” of the Socratic-case method in the United States, at the turn of the 20th Century.

Experiential Education And The Rule Of Law: Teaching Values Through Clinical Education In China, Elliott Milstein Jan 2009

Experiential Education And The Rule Of Law: Teaching Values Through Clinical Education In China, Elliott Milstein

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

The inclusion of these …
