This session will explore brand new data from CSALE’s 2022-23 survey and, based on the presenters forthcoming article in the Journal of Legal Education, tie current survey results back to information stretching back to the early 1970’s. We will show comparisons over time of law clinics, field placements, and clinical faculty along numerous metrics, looking especially closely at the changing composition of our community and its place within the academy. We will also examine how we have over time hired, retained and promoted; what we teach, how we teach it, and who we teach it to; and, most importantly, how, participants can use this information to shape the future. This session will be very interactive and visual. It will allow participants to situate themselves within the spectrum of other clinical programs, courses, and faculties and consider how they might move themselves and their programs forward to better address the needs of their clients and communities.
