Suit to recoup Greenpeace ships is clinic's latest 'tilt at windmill.'

Article Abstract:

Yale Law School's Allard K Lowenstein International Human Rights Law Clinic has racked up solid victories in its five years as the most ambitious such program in the US. Law professor Harold H Koh, 41, launched it in response to student interest, and it now routinely challenges US govt officials, foreign dictators and military officers; most recently, it took on France in a lawsuit filed in Oct regarding the seizure of three Greenpeace ships. Students hail the program and Koh for saving their interest in the law.

They're learning to be ethical by seeing just what not to do

Article Abstract:

The Seattle University School of Law's Professional Responsibility Integrative Component Clinic gives students credit for investigating ethics complaints against lawyers. Working with a state bar disciplinary arm, 20 students per semester are paired up and assigned a pending disciplinary matter to investigate. Prof John A. Strait, who runs the program, says it gives students a hands-on understanding of legal ethics and shows them the realities of practice.
