    This session covers two related topics. First, we discuss our university’s decision (the first of its kind in the United Kingdom) to make clinical legal education compulsory for all law students. We will discuss how this decision was undertaken, our program structure, and the influences of legal pedagogy research on skills development, feedback, external organization partnerships and assessment, among others in shaping our program. Second, we examine how we used the implementation of compulsory legal education law school-wide as the impetus for conducting longitudinal evaluation of our law school clinic’s teaching portfolio and client service delivery. We will present some initial findings from our research and discuss how longitudinal evaluation might benefit other clinical teaching programs.
