Abstract
The development of a law curriculum that integrates clinical pedagogy within the wider law curriculum has long been advocated as desirable, even essential, for legal education. This article examines the advantages for such integration and is divided into three parts. The first part reviews the literature relating to the integration of clinical pedagogy within the broader legal curriculum. The second part examines how the University of South Australia Law School integrates its clinical legal education program into the wider curriculum through the use of de-identified Clinic files in two courses, specifically Professional Conduct and Civil Procedure. The third part discusses and the secondary advantages of this initiative, including the access to real 'case scenarios' for problem-based learning.
