Description
Clinical Legal Education: A Textbook for Law School Clinical Programs David Chavkin ISBN 9781422407257
This textbook was developed as a practical resource for clinical law teachers, bringing together the key lawyering skills and professional values that shape the clinical learning experience. It focuses on the concept of the “Theory of the Client,” which expands the traditional idea of case theory by considering both legal and non-legal strategies that can help achieve a client’s objectives.
Rather than prescribing fixed methods for performing legal tasks, each chapter highlights important “choice moments”—points during representation where a lawyer’s decisions can influence the direction and scope of the case. By examining these moments, the book helps students learn how to recognize critical decision points and work collaboratively with clients to make thoughtful and effective choices.
Designed with the practical realities of clinical teaching in mind, the text is concise—under 200 pages—and flexible enough to be used in a variety of clinic settings and course formats. It covers essential skills that are central to every clinical experience, including interviewing, counseling, fact investigation, and negotiation, using examples drawn from real clinical contexts.
The book was tested in several law school clinics, and the insights gained from those experiences are incorporated into the accompanying Teacher’s Manual, which provides additional guidance for instructors.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Free rental returns, whenever you are done
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning early costs you nothing: it is the same free label, and sending it back sooner is welcome. Just be sure it reaches us by the semester deadline to avoid late fees.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book is always free.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price. Late fees stop once your book ships back or the total reaches the book's replacement value (its Brand New price) - you never pay more than that. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
