Abstract
English: Surveys conducted in a selection of jurisdictions are discussed to determine whether clinical legal education should be a core and mandatory course in the LLB curriculum. The focus of a university law clinic and the role of the clinician are examined. The pedagogy that must be used in clinical legal education is explored. The discussions specifically consider skills, values and expected outcomes for the course, as well as effective assessment programmes and common requirements for the design of a curriculum.
Afrikaans: Ten einde te bepaal of kliniese regsopleiding ’n basiese en verpligte kursus in die LLB-leerplan moet wees, word ondersoeke oor ’n seleksie van jurisdiksies bespreek. Daar word gekyk na die fokus van ’n universiteit regskliniek, die rol van die kliniektoesighouer en die pedagogie wat in kliniese regsopleiding gebruik moet word. Die besprekings konsentreer spesifiek op die vaardighede, waardes en verwagte uitkomste vir die kursus, asook ’n effektiewe assesseringsprogram en die algemene vereistes vir die opstel van ’n leerplan.
