- Title
THE CLASSROOM AND THE CLINIC: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLINICAL LEGAL EDUCATION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION.
- Authors
Alviar, Helena
- Abstract
This article will examine the tension that exists between formalist and anti-formalist methods of teaching in the classroom, by examining the history of clinical education in Latin America (particularly Columbia) and the tension that exists between these methods in that region. It will examine the ways in which this tension and the role of clinical legal education are helping to develop the role of public interest law as students are encouraged to look beyond economics and formal rules towards more social justice oriented policy.
