Abstract

Human rights clinics have established themselves as an important way for a group of American law schools to achieve pedagogical and social justice aims. This article is written from the perspective of someone who has taught in two such clinics, with a view to sharing some insights from the American experience in the hope that they will prove of interest to Australian law schools that might be considering establishing such clinics. The article explains the concept of a human rights clinic and the goals of such a clinic. Through the use of case studies it then considers the types of projects that are most valuable pedagogically.
