40th Annual Conference on Clinical Legal Education

5

Welcome

Welcome to Leadership in Tumultuous Times, the AALS Clinical and Experiential Law Program Directors Workshop! We renamed this workshop, a companion to the 40th Annual AALS Conference on Clinical Legal Education, to acknowledge the expanding range of law school faculty who hold leadership positions in clinical law, externship, and experiential learning programs. We welcome each of you to this biennial meeting, which provides opportunities to participate in concurrent sessions and small groups delineated by leadership role.

This workshop was designed to allow you to reflect on and address both existing and developing challenges associated with creating and managing law school experiential learning programs. You can form or enhance your network of colleagues to provide a source of support for the future.

The workshop opens with a plenary session in which the panelists explore how law schools are addressing new ABA standards that require each student to complete six credits of experiential learning. Participants will consider opportunities that arise in professional and program development as law schools expand experiential learning programs, including the creation of administrative positions focused on experiential teaching. This session will also address the challenges that emerge when clinic and externship faculty take on new responsibilities for the experiential curriculum while still leading their own programs.

After concurrent sessions designed according to leadership role, the luncheon will bring workshop attendees back together to continue the discussion of experiential learning under new ABA standards, led by a distinguished panel that includes William E. Adams, Jr., Deputy Managing Director of the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar.

This workshop closes with small group discussions, again arranged by leadership role. Please note that you may select any concurrent session and small group discussion, even if it does not correspond with your leadership role.

Your strong leadership is vital to the continued advancement of clinical law, externship, and experiential learning programs. This workshop will allow opportunities for engagement, reflection, and generation of ideas and motivation so you leave Denver reenergized to resolve challenges in your leadership roles.

Many externship programs are undergoing assessment and transformation as a result of new ABA Standards that require more attention to the programs’ academic components, intensify oversight of placement supervising attorneys, and permit paid externships. In addition, early indications of how the ABA will apply the new Standards are available from schools that have hosted ABA site inspections this academic year. This panel will report what those schools’ externship faculty have shared about their site inspection experiences, and will offer their own schools’ experiences, with particular focus on three hot topics: externship seminar content and credit allocation, maintaining contact with site supervisors,

and developing a school policy on paid externships. The panelists will offer a framework and useful tools for how law schools can address these issues.

The new ABA Standards are already encouraging dynamic innovation in externship programs, including improved training of and communications with placement supervising attorneys, heightened attention to hiring and cultivation of externship faculty, and broader faculty interest in experiential learning initiatives that intersect with externships. In this small group session, externship program leaders will lead a discussion about ideas and strategies for innovation and implementation of best practices, focusing on: site supervisor trainings; the now-required written understanding (MOU) among the school, placement site, and student; externship program/faculty status; and externship program coordination with “practicums” and similar fieldwork opportunities supervised by other faculty. The small group will discuss their own school’s experiences and identify resources and models for any law school externship program to draw on as it engages in these areas.

Balancing Interests Plaza Court 2, Plaza Building, Concourse Level

Jeffrey R. Baker, Pepperdine University School of LawAnn Marie B. Cavazos, Florida A&M University

College of Law

Law schools and clinical programs are navigating pivotal moments of change, challenge, and opportunity. Each program and school must contend with competing interests and pressures. Falling enrollment and shrinking budgets may put increased pressures on programs to do more with less, while the prevailing trends in legal education demand more experiential learning and clinical opportunities for students. Old models resist new models, but the market demands competitive innovation. In all of this, clinical law professors defend and promote best practices in pedagogy and practice. This session will engage directors in discussions about balancing all of these interests, with creativity and strategic compromise. Through guided questions and structured conversations, participants will discuss how to influence deans and faculties through new ABA rules and how to build effective narratives to advance the work of clinics and externships in local contexts.
