Supervisory relationships pervade legal education. So it’s worth reading Gemma Smyth and Marion Overholt‘s “Framing Supervisory Relationships in Clinical Law: The Role of Critical Pedagogy”. Their contribution will leave you thinking about your approach to supervisory relationships and its implications for learning. More than that, the piece does a terrific job of underscoring the value of clinical education in the context of a broader legal education (and especially its focus on the affective and pyschomotor). There is a great literature in clinical law in Canada and if you haven’t been keeping up, start here.
