United in our challenges - should the model used in clinical legal education be reviewed?
Abstract
English: The University of the Witwatersrand Law Clinic has used the in-house real-client model
of clinical legal education since 1973. Now, 30 years later, the author reflects on the
challenges that this model poses, particularly in light of the evolution of clinical teaching
in the 21 '' century. This paper considers various models used in clinical teaching, with
particular emphasis on the "real-client" model as used in clinical teaching at the University
of the Witwatersrand Law Clinic. Various challenges posed by this model are identified
and discussed. In conclusion certain recommendations are put forward on how to deal
with these challenges. Afrikaans: Die Universiteit van die Witwatersrand Regskliniek gebruik sedert 1973 die binneshuise

van kliniese onderrig in die 21 ''' eeu. Die artikel oorweeg verskeie modelle wat in kliniese
onderrig gebruik word, met besondere klem op die "ware klient"-model soos gebruik
