摘要

本文探讨了大学法律诊所在法律援助项目中遇到的挑战,这些项目旨在缓解国家诉诸司法的缺陷。为了解决这些挑战,它提出了一个可持续性范式,对律师,法律教育者和其他诊所合作者具有重要意义。文章首先定位了大学法律诊所社会正义使命的现实、道德和法律基础。随后对大学提供的法律援助的分析得到了诊所活动数据的支持,这些数据是通过对诊所主任的访谈和与肯尼亚大学法律诊所学生领袖的焦点小组讨论收集的。研究结果揭示了诊所所面临的多重挑战,如处于领导地位、缺乏代表能力、资源不足、潜力未被充分发掘、机构协同效应差以及在大学结构中的次优安置。然后,这篇文章建立了这些挫折与诊所可持续性之间的联系,认为将肯尼亚的问题重新定义为可持续性之一,可以为以进步和有影响力的方式解决这些挑战提供潜在的途径。

Lawyers in self-estrangement: resolving the challenges of sustaining university law clinics
ABSTRACT This article examines the challenges encountered by university law clinics in their legal aid projects that are designed to assuage national access to justice deficits. Towards the resolution of these challenges, it proposes a sustainability paradigm that bears significant implications for lawyers, legal educators and other clinic collaborators. The article begins by locating the pragmatic, moral and legal underpinnings of the social justice mission of university law clinics. The subsequent analysis of legal aid provided by universities is supported by data on clinic activity collected through interviews of clinic directors and focus group discussions with student leaders in university law clinics in Kenya. The findings reveal the multiple challenges that clinics confront as being in leadership, lack of representational capacity, inadequate resourcing, under-explored potential, poor institutional synergies and sub-optimal placement in university structures. The article then establishes a link between these setbacks and the sustainability of the clinics, arguing that reframing the problem in Kenya as one of sustainability yields potential avenues for addressing the challenges in ways that are progressive and impactful.
