Law school clinics, where the central teaching methodology is face-to-face interactions between professors and students, account for the majority of experiential and practical training available today in legal education. Online education hasn't yet made substantial inroads into this setting, but as the methods of online instruction continue to evolve it seems likely that clinical legal education will soon begin to incorporate some forms of online learning. This presentation will explore ways in which clinicians can leverage online technologies to optimize their teaching resources and bolster student learning. Specifically, it will examine how online learning can be used to teach foundational skills and concepts needed by all incoming clinical students and to deliver just-in-time-instruction to students as they prepare to meet with clients.
