Abstract
This book answers many questions for those tasked with deciding whether and how to fund a law school clinic. It also provides metrics by which to evaluate the operations of a clinic. And finally, this book addresses not just how best to run a clinic, but in many ways how best to deliver legal services to a community in great need of legal help, whether through a law school program or in the neighborhood. It answers questions every legal aid office in the world with limited resources must answer: how to choose clients, how to decide which services the clients will receive, and from whom, and how to deliver those legal services.
This review essay will proceed as follows. It explores the major themes of each chapter, and how these ideas may be useful to a wide audience. The review attempts to guide its reader to those chapters that will be most helpful for those who do not have time to read everything, and it suggests avenues to explore ideas further.
