Clinical legal education (CLE) is a springboard for entry into
legal practice, preparing students for the professional challenges
they will face after completing their studies and embarking on
their legal careers. In her eight years of conducting research on
CLE in South African universities, the author has found that the
most urgent needs are in the area of student assessment. Designing
a curriculum with assessable content is therefore essential for
clinicians who, in certifying students' capabilities, are the
gatekeepers to practice. This book identifies curriculum
requirements across a number of jurisdictions, and proposes a menu
of assessment methods, which may enhance the choices of assessment
methodologies available to South African university law clinics. It
also covers the setting of parameters for assessment, grading,
grade descriptors and moderation systems, and discusses different
forms of tests, assignments, essay- and oral-examinations, as well
as self- and peer-evaluation, peer editing, case portfolios, and
trial advocacy skills. The book addresses challenges such as
clinicians' heavy workloads and differing levels of experience in
supervision and assessment. It discusses challenges students face
and presents solutions enabling clinicians to help them depending
on their individual experience and needs. Also discussed are the
potential conflicts between the needs of students and those of the
local community being served by the law clinic. Although the aim of
this book is to find appropriate assessment methods for CLE, the
effectiveness of an assessment programme can only be determined
when measured against a curriculum. The proposed curriculum is
therefore measured against the identified assessment criteria. CLE
