2006 Conference on Clinical Legal Education
April 30 - May 3, 2006
New York, New York

Clinical law teachers, their students and their clients exist in a variety of collaborative arrangements that serve to enrich their teaching, lawyering, and commitment to social justice. In this conference, we will explore the many ways in which collaboration can enrich, as well as challenge, clinical educators. Through a range of plenary sessions, focused concurrent sessions, and small working group meetings, clinicians will examine the theme of collaboration in teaching (e.g., co-teaching, teaching with non-clinicians, interdisciplinary teaching, teaching with international colleagues), learning (e.g., the value of law students working in teams, or with non-law students, and law students collaborating with faculty), and lawyering settings (e.g., clinicians working with client-based community organizations, non-governmental organizations, public interest and legal services offices). We will address collaboration in the classic clinical settings of the in-house clinic, externships, and simulation courses, as well as in hybrid combinations of these clinical forms. The emphasis, as in all clinical conferences, will be on the interaction among participants and between participants and presenters. At this conference, you will do more than hear about collaboration—you will see it in action, and be inspired to think critically about the ways in which collaboration can enhance your clinical career.
