Abstract
In the fall of1997 Pace University School of Law established one of the first law school clinics to provide student assistance to small investors who have disputes with their broker-dealers. What follows is a brief account of the clinic's educational objectives, an analysis of the initial organizational issues, and a report on the clinic's operation during its first two years. I am writing this in the hope that it will provide guidance and assistance to other law schools that contemplate establishing a securities arbitration clinic.
This is a nuts-and-bolts article written from the perspective of an experienced law professor who had not previously taught a law school clinic. There is a tremendous volume of literature on the theory and practice of clinical education, and anyone teaching a clinic for the first time should do some reading in the area. The experienced clinicians at your school can provide suggestions.
