Abstract
This paper will explore how law school clinics in general, and asylum clinics in particular, can prepare students for healthier, more satisfied careers in the law by introducing them to one of the comprehensive law movements which has gained popularity in the last decades. By understanding the effects of trauma on their clients and by explicitly addressing issues of empathy, emotional intelligence, and cross-cultural communication, law school clinics, which already complement the traditional legal curriculum in significant ways, will improve and enrich the experience for both the client and the law student.
