ACCLE 2015 Full Conference Program – PDF ACCLE – 6th Annual Conference: The Place of Clinical Legal Education
University of Saskatchewan College of Law, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan October 23-24, 2015
The Association of Canadian Clinical Legal Education (ACCLE) is pleased to host its 6th Annual Conference at the College of Law, University of Saskatchewan from October 23-24, 2015. This year’s conference will focus on “The Place of Clinical Legal Education”. Through a mix of plenary and break-out sessions, we will explore this theme of “place” by considering questions such as:
•How do clinics “locate” themselves within the communities and places where they exist?
•How does clinical legal education respond to the forces that have displaced communities both historically and currently?
•How should clinic lawyers and students think about our place as advocates for marginalized members of communities and our place within the larger legal community?
•As legal education as a whole faces a shifting landscape, where is clinical legal education located now and in the future?
In addition to presentations that speak to the issue of “place”, the program will also include a number of sessions that explore core themes in Canadian clinical legal education, including: innovative pedagogies and new and “traditional” models of clinical legal education.
NEW: For more details about the sessions and the various topics, view the ACCLE 2015 Full Conference Program – PDF.

The Workshop will be facilitated by Janet Mosher, Associate Professor, Osgoode Hall Law School. Janet has a long-standing involvement in clinical legal education, having served as Academic Director of the Intensive Program in Poverty Law at Parkdale Community Legal Services and as Osgoode’s Director of Clinical Legal Education. Her research, writing and activism (which she likes to think of as inter-connected) have focused on access to justice, poverty law and violence against women.
