This book makes the case for a more legally literate society and
then addresses why and how a law school might contribute to
achieving that. Moreover examining what public legal education
(PLE) is and the forms it can take, the book looks specifically at
the ways in which a law school can get involved, including whether
that is as part of an academic, credit-bearing, course or as
extra-curricular activity. Divided into five main chapters, the
book first examines the nature of PLE and why its provision is so
central to the functioning of modern society. Models of PLE are
then set out ranging from face-to-face tuition to the use of
hard-copy material, including the growing importance of e-based
technology. One model of PLE that has proven to be very attractive
to law schools - Street Law - is described and analysed in detail.
The book then turns to look at the considerations for a law school
wishing to incorporate PLE into its offerings be that as part of
the formal curriculum or not. The subject of evaluation is then
raised - how might we find out if what we do by way of PLE is
effective and how it might be improved upon? The final chapter
reaches conclusions, some penned by the book's author and others
drawn from key figures in the PLE movement. This book provides a
thorough examination of PLE in a law school context and contains a
set of templates that can be implemented and/or adapted for use as
the situation and jurisdiction dictate. An accessible and
compelling read, this book will be of interest to law students,
legal academics, practising lawyers, community activists and all
those interested in PLE.
