Abstract
This chapter explores the continuing story of one community lawyering clinic situated in West Philadelphia in the United States. It also represents the second installment in these co-authors' ongoing discussions and reflections about the design and development of the clinic and a follow-up to an article we published together in 2015 when the clinic was still very much in its infancy. This chapter focuses mainly on the interplay between two core objectives of the clinic - teaching law students and promoting community accountability - which are sometimes complementary and at other times seem like competing goals. Specifically, we discuss the complexity of working in a clinic that is deeply committed both to being responsive to a particular community's expressed interests and to fostering the agency and self-direction that will help our students thrive as legal professionals.
