    In recent years, legal education and law practice in the U.S. have been subjected to powerful forces of change.  Law school faculty are already engaged in discussions about the weak legal employment market, and the call from employers for practice-ready law graduates.  At the same time, the needs of our client communities continue to evolve, as do our students’ goals and expectations for their clinical experience.  These forces of changes have placed, and will continue to place, more demands on clinical legal education within law schools.  This panel will explore what these forces mean for how we, as clinicians, structure, teach, and broadly operate our clinics, and will examine how our clinics interface with the law schools and communities in which they are situated. The panel will feature three of our clinical faculty peers, along with an expert on organizational development and change.
