- Title
GLOBALIZED LEGAL EDUCATION, HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYERING, AND INSTITUTIONAL FORM: THE CASE OF A REFUGEE LAW CLINIC IN SOUTH KOREA.
- Authors
GOEDDE, PATRICIA
- Abstract
This article is a case study narrative drawing upon the author's experience in creating a refugee law clinic at a law school in Seoul, Korea. While clinical legal education has spread transnationally over the past half century, law school clinics in South Korea are still incubating within the context of a new graduate legal education system. This article contemplates the pedagogical and institutional role and limitations of a refugee law clinic within South Korea's growing refugee advocacy movement, with specific focus on the interaction with the new system of graduate legal education. The clinic has created new institutional space for law students to work with public interest law actors for a transnational human rights cause while acquiring lawyering skills. However, the curricular and attitudinal constraints of graduate legal education in South Korea require institutional innovation and flexibility.
