Abstract
The creation of a new journal of clinical scholarship is an auspicious occasion for several reasons. First, the mere existence of such a journal is an affirmation of the integrity and value of clinical legal education and of the optimism of those involved with the creation of the journal about the future of our calling as clinical teachers. Second, the inauguration of the journal offers opportunities for reflection about the current state of clinical scholarship and the future direction of our scholarly endeavors. Titling a new journal the "Clinical Law Review" invites the question of what should be contained within its pages. What types of articles and essays should be published in the Clinical Law Review, intended as it is to be a forum for clinical scholarship? Are there characteristics of clinical scholarship which distinguish it from other legal scholarship? Is clinical scholarship confined to particular subject matters? Is there a form or style peculiar to clinical scholarship? All of these are questions that present themselves when we consider the creation and purpose of this new journal. In short, what is clinical scholarship?
