Midwest Clinical Conference Held At Law School
Professors from law school clinics around the Midwest (indeed, from around the nation) came to Washburn on October 7th and 8th to learn about and share ideas, methodologies, and strategies on clinical legal education. This gathering occurred when Washburn hosted the 19th Annual Midwest Conference on Clinical Legal Education. The focus of this year’s conference tied into the legacy of the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. At the conference, panelists and participants discussed methods for teaching advocacy skills in a clinical environment and examined how clinical education can help to achieve the promise of the Brown decision. Presenters at this program came from as far away as New York, Washington, D.C. and Seattle. Faculty members from Washburn’s Law Clinic participated in every panel during the conference.
In all, it was a very successful conference, showcasing Washburn’s commitment to clinical legal education.
