Best Practices for Legal Education

Full PDF Book | By Chapter

CLEA initiated a project to develop a statement of best practices in 2001 by appointing a steering committee chaired by Roy Stuckey. Each new draft was posted on the internet and suggestions for improving the document were widely solicited. Many people made suggestions, and some even drafted segments that were incorporated into the document. As the document evolved, presentations about it were made at a variety of meetings and conferences, and the document was the subject of a national conference at Pace University School of Law in March 2005, as well as several CLEA-sponsored workshops.

The product of the drafting phase, Roy Stuckey and Others, Best Practices for Legal Education (2007), can be downloaded here (PDF 902KB). While supplies last, hard copies can be obtained free of charge from Roy Stuckey.

CLEA has appointed an Implementation Committee to develop strategies for persuading law schools to implement best practices for legal education. The Committee is co-chaired by Carrie Kaas and Alex Scherr. If you have any ideas that might help the Committee succeed, they would be glad to hear from you.
