Stephen Ellmann Clinical Theory Workshop

The Stephen Ellmann Clinical Theory Workshop provides clinical legal educators with the opportunity to discuss legal scholarship exploring issues of clinical pedagogy, lawyering theory, substantive law, and empirical analysis that are relevant to clinical legal education. The Stephen Ellmann Clinical Theory Workshop is named in honor of Stephen J. Ellmann (1951-2019), a law professor, scholar, and advocate of clinical legal education, who founded the Clinical Theory Workshop in 1985. The Workshop is jointly sponsored by the City University of New York School of Law, Fordham Law School, New York Law School, and New York University School of Law.
