Clinical Legal Education (CLE) is not a new concept for Indian law schools. It is at least as old as the 1970s.Footnote1 However, CLE is still in a fledgling state despite almost fifty years of its introduction into legal education in India. Promotion and strengthening of CLE is a desirable aspiration to not only orient, prepare, build, and inspire legal professionals for social justice, but also to bring law, its language, its processes, mechanisms and institutions and their language closer to the masses.
