HARMONIZING CURRENT THREATS: USING THE OUTCRY FOR LEGAL EDUCATION REFORMS TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT CIVIL GIDEON AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN LAWYER.
- Authors
Miller-Wilson, Cathryn
- Abstract
Drawing from the broad and varied literature on legal ethics, this paper demonstrates that legal education and access to justice concerns can and should be addressed simultaneously in our current political and economic climate. Current threats to legal education, and to lawyering in general, present an opportunity for legal education transformation. Applying legal ethics theory to an analysis of these threats provides support for the creation of teaching law firms, similar in size and scope to teaching hospitals, that will employ clinical teaching methodology, substantially enhance ethics teaching and significantly address the issue of access to justice.
