Abstract
Spanish clinicians today benefit from the ‘first wave’ of early adopters. We also benefit from decades of clinical scholarship — most recently about the Western European and global clinical legal education movements — and empirical data on what lawyers actually do and need in practice. In this article, the authors summarize key empirical, pedagogical, and institutional lessons to ground the creation of a pilot course and program at the University of Granada.

Summary
The benefit of being a later adopter is that we learn from our predecessors. Having blazed the trail, the founders of Spanish clinical legal education—the “first wave” of clinicians—. Have provided important lessons for those of us embarking on the project of creating a clinical course and program at the University of Granada. Special Issue: European Network for Clinical Legal Education 6th Conference At the 2018 European Network for Clinical Legal Education Conference in Turin, Laura Scomparin called for a “deeper theoretical framework” for the integration of clinical methodology into the entire European legal curriculum.[1] In this article, we offer a modest response to this call by describing the project to create a clinical course at the University of Granada—the first of its kind at the University and hopefully the precursor of a program—that we ground in three sets of lessons: the empirical, the pedagogical, and the institutional. We draw lessons from Spanish clinicians who have successfully translated personal interest into institutional commitment
