This book examines learning from lawyering experience, whether that be through externships, clinics, or simulation courses. Chapter 3: Learning from Supervision outlines the framework for an effective supervisory relationship. The effective supervisory relationship is threefold; it involves macro planning/ goal setting, micro-planning/ assignment clarification, and effective feedback.
Macro planning requires establishing long-term goals in relation to an experience. Micro planning provides a structure for micro-planning and for utilizing feedback. Micro planning is a method of assignment clarification. Feedback involves communication concerning oral and/or written work, as well as macro and micro goals.
