European legal teaching - historically formalistic, doctrinal,
hierarchical, and passive - is coming under increasing pressure to
reimagine itself as pragmatic, policy-aware, and action-oriented. Out
of this context, a bottom-up movement of university law clinics
appears to be emerging in Europe. Although intellectually indebted to
the US model, the European variant reflects legal education and
practice in Europe, specifically the multi-layered and multi-genetic
legal landscape resulting from the Europeanization and
internationalization of national legal systems, the globalization of
European legal markets, and the growing demand for civic engagement in
view of increasingly powerful supra-national institutions. Through the
prism of clinical legal education, Reinventing Legal Education is the
first attempt to gather scholarly and systematic reflections on the
developments taking place in European legal teaching and practice.
This groundbreaking book should be read by anyone interested in how
clinical legal education is reinventing legal education in Europe.
