Description
Professor Babich has provided us with a troubling account of external pressures brought to bear on a highly regarded clinic at Tulane Law School. (1) Professor Joy has put the Tulane story into broader context with accounts of other clinics that have encountered similar criticism and efforts to confine their activities. (2) In this brief comment, I want to raise questions about the extent to which law school clinics could successfully assert First Amendment defenses against outside efforts to restrict their activities in the event that such pressure were to result in litigation. The discussion proceeds in three stages. First, I will offer other examples in which law reform has generated political backlash. The frequency of the phenomenon should come as no great surprise. Perhaps the haves do not always come out ahead, (3) but just as the race is not always to the swift or the battle to the strong, (4) we should expect the haves to defend their position vigorously. (5)
