ABSTRACT
Based on the many valuable accounts from legal clinics in this book, this chapter highlights lessons to be learnt from clinical experiences in the field of asylum and migration law. It sheds light on the significant challenges that these clinics face in terms of both pedagogy and, where appropriate, client-focused legal services, before concluding with reflections on possible ways forward.
In doing so, the chapter summarises the value of clinical legal education in the field of migration and asylum law as a vehicle for both public service and study but has implications for how we teach and learn elsewhere in the law curriculum, based on the principle of a more holistic and realistic knowledge, skills and values approach to legal education.
