This accessible How To Guide provides practical, expert guidance on
how to successfully set up and run a law clinic. Donald Nicolson,
JoNel Newman and Richard Grimes explore the process of designing a
clinic to address unmet legal needs, enhance student learning, and
maximise the additional benefits of a clinic. How to Set up and Run
a Legal Clinic is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice
of running a clinic. Based on the authors’ first-hand experience,
the book analyses a variety of day-to-day issues that can arise
when setting up a law clinic and provides invaluable solutions to
these commonly occurring challenges. In investigating how clinics
may be run, and what services they can provide, the book
investigates possible tensions between educational and social
justice objectives, and how they may be resolved to meet these dual
aims. The book examines how the expectations of all stakeholders,
including those with regulatory oversight of clinical activities,
can be managed and met. Those working within law schools who are
wishing to set up or expand law clinics will find this book to be
highly useful. It will be a valuable resource for those aiming to
enhance employability and experiential learning offerings.
Students, and legal practitioners, wishing to gain insight into the
value of clinical work will also find this to be a helpful guide.
This work is intended as a supplement to textbooks on undergraduate
courses as well as a core text for a specialist course on law and
gender, advanced criminal law and postgraduate courses. Although
the book is intended primarily for teaching purposes, it is
sufficiently challenging to advance feminist critique of criminal
law.
This is the first textbook to set the Scots law of evidence against
a modern backdrop of legal thought and empirical research. It
examines the non-legal dimensions of evidence and proof through the
lens of legal philosophy, procedure, sociology, science and
psychology to analyse the contexts that affect the handling of
facts and the process of proof in Scotland. Drawing extensively on
socio-legal research, the book provides an accurate picture of how
fact-finding works in Scotland - giving students the foundation for
a complete, critical and contextual understanding of Scots evidence
law.

Ethics and regulation have been catchwords of the late 1990s, yet
relatively little has been written about the ethical discourse and
regulation of the legal professions in England and Wales. This book
attempts to subject the ethical discourse of the English legal
professions to in-depth analysis and sustained critique. Drawing on
insights from moral philosophy, social theory, the sociology of the
legal profession, public law theories of regulation, and the
extensive American literature on lawyers ethics, it argues that, in
seeking to provide definitive answers to particular problems of
professional conduct, professional legal ethics has failed to
deliver an approach which requires lawyers actively to engage with
the ethical issues raised by legal practice. Through an analysis of
the core issues facing lawyers, the authors locate this failure in
the profession's reliance on a liberal and adversarial role
morality that conceptualizes the ethical values of human dignity,
autonomy and equality in a formalistic and narrowly legalistic
manner. The text is a wide-ranging and thought-provoking analysis
written for lawyers, ethicists and policy-makers interested in this
neglected area of pr
