Teaching
law students how to counsel entrepreneurs, and teaching law students themselves
to be entrepreneurial in their own law practices, is an important aspect of the
“new normal” in clinical legal education. The new normal should also
involve more collaboration among clinical and doctrinal faculty, alums, student
pro bono groups, law school centers, and even law school development
offices. Staff, faculty and alums in each of these areas have unique
strengths to bring to a community service model.
This
session provides step-by-step information about how the Center for Business
Entrepreneurship (CUBE) at Brooklyn Law School developed its small business
brief advice clinic. Specifically, attendees will learn how clinic
faculty built and worked with a broad coalition of student leaders, alums and
faculty to recruit and train student volunteers, partner with community-based
small business technical assistance providers, recruit and train pro bono
volunteer attorneys, in order to establish a recurring small business brief
advice clinic.
