AALS is sponsoring a Conference on Clinical Legal Education on Saturday, May 1 through Tuesday, May 4, 2004, at the Hilton San Diego Resort, in San Diego, California.

Clinical legal education emerged in response to social and political movements of the 1960s and was designed to address the perceived irrelevance of traditional legal education. In the context of live client clinics, the first clinical teachers used innovative alternative teaching methods — videotapes, role play exercises, simulations, and supervision and feedback sessions. Today, clinical teaching models range from externships to simulations and live client. Clinical pedagogy is analyzed in an expanding body of legal scholarship.
