Reviewed Article 5 PREPARING STUDENTS FOR 21ST CENTURY PRACTICE: ENHANCING SOCIAL JUSTICE TEACHING IN CLINICAL LEGAL EDUCATION Dr Jacqueline Weinberg, Monash University, Australia * Abstract Social justice has always played an important role in clinical legal education (CLE).1 Clinicians are aware that students need to acquire the necessary legal skills and strategies related to client-centred lawyering, process choice and procedural justice. This paper shows that increasingly, despite clinicians’ recognition of the value of teaching social justice in CLE, those who promote it face various challenges in instilling in students the notion that social justice is important. This paper discusses some of these challenges, including, that as experiential education expands, students are being offered clinical placements in the private sector where clients do not face the barriers in accessing justice similar to those in community settings. It therefore becomes imperative to encourage students to retain the notion that social justice is an important value.

Introduction Students undertake CLE to learn what lawyers do in practice.2 Students engage with real-life clients and manage their matters, learning practical legal skills under the supervision of qualified legal practitioners (‘clinical supervisors’).3 Students learn about the various technical, ethical and procedural obligations with which lawyers must comply. Notably, the value of law clinics extends well beyond their pedagogical function; these clinics play a vital role in the advancement of access to justice, as they serve disadvantaged and marginalised members of the community who could not otherwise afford a lawyer. During their placements at law clinics, students are encouraged to reflect critically on the nature and meaning of access to justice, including how and why it is constrained and how it might be fostered. Students are guided to develop the skills and strategies that are fundamental to their ability to manage clients and establish trusting lawyer–client relationships, all of which are essential to their future careers as legal practitioners with a ‘justice’ focus. 2 Adrian Evans et al (n 1). 3 Adrian Evans et al (n 1).

Reviewed Article 7 This paper argues that retaining a social justice mission in CLE has become challenging for clinicians today. These challenges arise for various reasons, including that experiential learning in law schools has expanded into the private sector, where clients do not face barriers to accessing justice similar to community contexts. As such, it becomes more difficult to instil in students the notion that social justice is an important value to retain. Also, students’ interests in employability has lead them to focus on seeking work in the private sector with the risk that they develop the notion that social justice is no longer a value they need to aspire to. This paper argues that despite these challenges, social justice teaching remains an important component of CLE. As such, clinicians need to focus consciously on this teaching. This paper discusses some of the best-practice protocols and methods that can be used to enhance social justice teaching in CLE so that students develop a deep understanding of social justice, which in turn will strengthen their ability to manage client matters and enhance their lawyer–client relationships in their future legal practice. This paper begins by providing context for social justice teaching in CLE. It then goes on to define the concept of social justice, which is essential to better teach students the notion of ‘justice readiness’.

It becomes a challenge then to ensure that such students are still aware of the value of applying a social justice approach to their practice. Challenges of Social Justice Teaching Historically, both in Australia and worldwide, CLE has required students to engage in live-client experiential learning by providing pro bono legal services to low-income clients.44 In the US, law schools have invested heavily in instilling a ‘social justice morality’ in their students.45 Lawton notes that they have done so in their ‘pro bono requirements’,46 ‘experiential learning opportunities’47 and by providing more funding to students working in the public interest than to those working in business 44 Refer to Richard Grimes, ‘Legal Literacy, Community Empowerment and Law Schools—Some Lessons from a Working Model in the UK’ (2003) 37 Law Teacher 273; Paul Bergman, ‘Reflections on US Clinical Education’ (2003) 10(1) International Journal of the Legal Profession 109; Peggy Maisel, ‘Expanding and Sustaining Clinical Legal Education in Developing Countries: What We Can Learn from South Africa’ (2007) 30(2) Fordham International Law Journal 374; Frank Bloch and Mary-Anne Noone, ‘Legal Aid Origins of Clinical Legal Education’ in Frank Bloch (ed), The Global Clinical Movement: Educating Lawyers for Social Justice (Oxford University Press, 2011); Jeff Giddings, Promoting Justice through Clinical Legal Education (Justice Press, 2013). 45 Refer to Peter Joy, ‘Political Interference in Clinical Programs: Lessons from the US Experience’ (2005) 8 International Journal of Clinical Legal Education 83; Lawton (n 26) 67. 46 Lawton (n 26) 67. 47 Ibid.

Students can choose to participate in clinics at which they will perform pro bono legal services with a social justice focus or in the private sector. Notably, clients in the private sector do not generally face the same barriers to accessing justice as those in community settings. Students may choose externship placements in private settings for several reasons, including that they simply are not interested in engaging in social justice.55 After all, students have their own legitimate interests for attending law school;56 for example, they may wish to help the vulnerable and impoverished or to pursue careers in corporate law, providing legal services to the privileged.57 According to Lawton, American law schools often accentuate this notion by creating a competitive environment in which the ‘best’ students are those who receive the ‘best’ grades and are offered the most coveted jobs in large private law firms.58 As Lawton posits, ‘students cannot accept sole responsibility for these choices as law schools are 54 Refer to Evans et al (n 1). 55 Refer to Lawton (n 26) 70. 56 Ibid. 57 Ibid. 58 Ibid.

Is a New Perspective Needed? Lawton contends that clinicians should guard against ‘indoctrinating students’ or ‘imposing [their] social justice moralities on law students’.60 She cautions legal educators against ‘pushing students into a particular practice area based on the educators’ moralities’61 and notes that they should expand students’ ideas and train them to see context and recognise the need for perspective.62 Similarly, McKeown and Hall warn clinicians ‘not to impose [their] own moral perspective on [their] students but to provide students with the framework to critique the world in which they live and strive to develop their own moral position’.63 Students should be offered opportunities for exposure to different areas of law ‘to determine for themselves their 59 Ibid 71. 60 Lawton (n 26) 73. 61 Ibid. 62 Ibid. 63 McKeown and Hall (n 4) 179.

Kosuri argues that if increased experiential learning opportunities for students are a real objective of law schools, and clinics are viewed as ‘the pinnacle of those opportunities, then broadening the portfolio of clinical offerings to include those that are not focused on social justice should be a valid proposition’.65 Kosuri stresses that law school clinics can no longer presume that a social justice mission (to represent the indigent and underrepresented about poverty law issues) is the only legitimate goal for clinic clients and matters;66 rather, leaders of clinical programs should accommodate different models of clinics, thereby expanding clinical education to more students and ‘unleashing the next phase of innovation and creativity in law school education’.67 Clinical opportunities should be provided to every interested law student, and the notion that clinics are only for ‘public interest’ students or special factions of students should be abandoned.68 Kosuri views the greatest contribution of CLE as not merely ‘creating a haven for public interest-oriented law students or in promoting social justice causes, but rather in a methodology that teaches students how 64 Ibid. 65 Praveen Kosuri, ‘Losing My Religion: The Place of Social Justice in Clinical Legal Education’ (2012) Boston College Journal of Law and Social Justice 338. 66 Ibid. 67 Ibid 337. 68 Ibid 338.

While it may not be possible to expect all students to engage in clinical placements that are focused entirely on social justice nor that the lawyers with whom they engage will be attending to such issues, nonetheless, instilling in students the message that social justice is a system of values and a consciousness that is predicated on an innate sense of justice remains important. 85 Social Justice Teaching Remains Important If social justice is to remain one of the central missions of CLE, students should be encouraged to be value-driven or possess a sense of social justice regardless of where they receive their clinical teaching.86 The risk of not doing so is that students will fail to appreciate that social justice is important and assume that a social justice ethos is 84 Kosuri (n 65) 331. 85 Refer to Singo (n 11) 302.

As Aiken explains: Everything a lawyer does has to do with justice or injustice, sometimes on the surface and sometimes in the background. Justice is about doing, and clinicians are among the only faculty in law schools who teach students how to ‘do’ law.

The tools just need to be refined’.100 Within the clinical context, structured methods and models can be implemented to develop and maintain a more uniform approach to focus on issues of social justice.

Traffic Infringement Case Study Factual scenario: A woman visits the CLC for advice about a parking infringement she has received. The client is a single mother with four children, all under 18. The client had received a fine of $480 when she had collected her two youngest children (aged five and seven) from school and exceeded the 40km/hr speed limit outside the school (she was recorded travelling at 60km/hr). The client cannot afford to pay the fine and is seeking assistance in having the fine waived. The client is distressed during the interview and seeks advice on how to deal with this matter. 125 Douglas, Kathy, ‘Shaping the Future: The Discourses of ADR and Legal Education’ (2008) 8(1) Law and Justice Journal 118.

The supervisor engages with the student about the client’s social and financial circumstances that may have contributed to the infringement, and her consequent ability to pay the fine. Other factors to be considered include, her ability to understand the legislation and the legal process and her inability to speak fluent English, which impacts on her ability to write a letter to get a review of the fine and waiver. The supervisor encourages the student to consider whether the client requires any support from a financial counsellor, social worker or external agency during the process. Additionally, the supervisor might provide the student with strategies for communicating the advice to the client. This includes addressing any language-related constraints and whether the client might require an interpreter to better comprehend the advice.126 The supervisor addresses the barriers to access to justice, such as the client’s socio- economic circumstances, communication difficulties, and general inability to understand and navigate the legal system.127 In this way, the supervisor engenders in the student an understanding of the hardships the client faces due to her 126 Refer to Giddings, Jeff, ‘The Assumption of Responsibility: Supervision Practices in Experimental Legal Education’ in Mutaz Qafisheh and Stephen Rosenbaum (eds), Global Legal Education Approaches: Special Reference to the Middle East (Cambridge Scholars, 2012). 127 Giddings, Jeff, ‘It’s More than a Site: Supporting Social Justice Through Student Supervision Practices’ in Chris Ashford and Paul McKeown (eds), Social Justice and Legal Education (Cambridge Scholars, 2018) Reviewed Article 33 circumstances and focuses on the client’s interests or needs, in order to explore alternative options to litigation for resolving the client’s matter.

Reviewed Article 45 they gain a deeper understanding of the topics. This enhances students’ social justice learning, as they ‘become active rather than passive learners’.176 Conclusion Although CLE has long focused on preparing law students to enter practice with a deeper understanding of social justice issues and the skills necessary to assist persons in accessing justice, this well-established mission has been increasingly challenged. With the expansion of CLE and the growth of externships, clinical students are increasingly placed in corporate settings or private law firms in which social justice may not be the central ethos. Clinicians have differing views in this regard. Kosuri argues that while clinics offer a rich experience that cannot be replicated by other forms of experiential learning, not all clinical law programs need to include social justice teaching to be recognised as CLE.177 Cole challenges these views and argues that these clinics can still support a social justice mission and reinforce lessons about social justice that will carry on into the rest of the students’ professional life.178 Clinical pedagogy incorporates a social justice mission that enables students to explore and reflect on the issues that affect access to justice. In doing so, these programs teach students skills in communication, problem-solving, critical thinking and conflict management. 176 Douglas et al (n 176) 46. 177 Kosuri (n 65). 178 Cole (n 75). Reviewed Article 46 Despite the challenges that exist, this paper has explored ways in which social justice can be retained as a key focus of CLE developing students’ understanding of social justice and conflict management. This paper has highlighted the effective ways that social justice teaching can be included in the clinical curriculum. Notably, supervisors play a critical role in this teaching with methods including role play, simulation-based exercises, seminars and skills teaching, all intended to introduce students to the knowledge and skills needed to become critical thinking client–centred practitioners. 179 The suitability of these methods will depend on the clinic type, the model of CLE and the resources available. To ensure a standardised approach to social justice teaching, clinicians need to be trained in the aspects and theories of social justice and its connection to clinics. A focus on client-centred lawyering and access to justice will enhance students’ ability to manage conflict and establish trusting lawyer–client relationships in whichever context they practice. In this way, CLE can ensure that law students continue to develop a deep understanding of the importance of retaining social justice as a focus for their future as 21st-century legal practitioners. 179 Refer to Julie Macfarlane, ‘The Evolution of the New Lawyer: How Lawyers are Reshaping the Practice of Law’ (2008) 61 Journal of Dispute Resolution 61; Julie Macfarlane, The New Lawyer: How Settlement is Transforming the Practice of Law (UBC Press, 2008).
