The new reform movement has led to an increasing demand for clinicians to take a leadership role in the legal academy, not just on clinics and externships but on experiential learning more generally. This session addresses the growing phenomenon of the “experiential Dean”: its advantages and merits; its risks and costs; and the tensions that it creates for clinic directors who both work as and work for such a person. Informed by recent CSALE data, the panel will both discuss and facilitate small group work on these issues.
