This book makes a strong case for a more legally literate society and then explores how a law school can contribute to achieving this goal. It also examines what public legal education (PLE) is and the various forms it can take, with a specific focus on how a law school can get involved, whether as part of an academic, credit-bearing course or as an extracurricular activity.
The book is divided into five main chapters. The first chapter examines the nature of PLE and why its provision is so crucial 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 materials, including the growing importance of e-based technology.
One model of PLE that has proven to be particularly attractive to law schools is Street Law, which is described and analyzed in detail. The book then turns to consider the considerations for a law school wishing to incorporate PLE into its offerings, whether as part of the formal curriculum or not. The subject of evaluation is then raised, with questions about how we can determine if PLE is effective and how it can 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 comprehensive examination of PLE in a law school context and includes 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, practicing lawyers, community activists, and all those interested in PLE.
