Using examples from their own experience, the authors explain how active learning helps students to develop critical understanding of the law in its real-life context, at the same time as developing useful transferable skills for success. The book also examines issues of ethics, professional responsibility and lawyer's skills. The book presents ways of getting students learning, through working in student law clinics, on simulations and with other agencies. It is illustrated with case studies and descriptions of students' own experiences in handling clinical work. The authors also include analysis and criticism of their ideas from other clinical practitioners.
