Abstract
Enhancing Clinical Legal Education: Facing Challenges and Exploring Possibilities
Highlights
One challenge is the expansion of clinical legal education and growth of externships where students are increasingly placed in law firms where their clients do not face barriers to access to justice
Another way in which social justice can be instilled in our students is through Exceptional Case Funding (ECF) clinics and this is the subject of Emma Marshall’s article
She reflects on how setting up an ECF clinic offers students an opportunity to be involved with access to justice challenges in practice, whilst simultaneously improving access to legal aid by helping members of the public who need to access such funding
