Abstract
Law school clinics play an important role in training future lawyers and in providing legal assistance to traditionally underrepresented individuals and groups In addition to facing the legal issues present in any law practice law clinic students and faculty are often confronted with ethical issues that lawyers representing poor and unpopular clients sometimes face outside interference in case and client selection This article explores the ethical considerations raised by interference in law school clinic case and client selection and limitations on the means of representation lawyers may employ in representing their clients The articles analysis provides a useful framework for responding to interference with not just law school clinics but also with legal services lawyers public defenders and private practitioners representing poor and unpopular clients and causes
