Materials for Clinic Law Supervisors
Clinic supervisors play essential roles both providing client and community legal services, and in educating law students. However, the roles, pedagogies, and experiences of supervising lawyers (sometimes called clinic lawyers or clinic supervisors) are poorly understood and often not well supported.
These materials support clinic supervisors in legal clinics to connect to the literature in this field, as well as views from colleagues across Canada.
Interested in reading about research and getting tools to support good supervision practices? Start with the Annotated Bibliography.
Interested in reading views from other clinic supervisors across Canada? Start with Themes.
As we found in this project, having a community of practice is an important part of clinic supervision. Looking to connect with other clinic supervisors across Canada? Visit the Association for Canadian Clinical Legal Education .
