Abstract
Special Issue - Clinical and Public Legal Education: Responses to Coronavirus
Highlights
Proverbial wisdom has it that ‘its an ill wind that blows nobody any good’ and, thankfully, the experiences of the CLE community suggest that this may ring true for pandemics as well as storms
The difficulties discussed are significant, the responses and novel solutions presented across all the papers attest to the creativity, energy and commitment that is the hallmark of the CLE community, and they point to new pathways for clinics to engage with their communities
Editorial Our invitation to edit this special edition arose after we submitted an article for publication to the IJCLE in summer 2020, which is included as our contribution to this edition with the title ‘Taking Clinical Legal Education Online: songs of innocence and experience.’
Summary
Proverbial wisdom has it that ‘its an ill wind that blows nobody any good’ and, thankfully, the experiences of the CLE community suggest that this may ring true for pandemics as well as storms. In this special issue the reader will benefit from an initial analysis of the experiences of law teachers living through an unprecedented crisis and grappling with the unexpected requirement to rapidly adjust their practice to continue to meet the needs of both their students and the users of their pro bono legal services.
