Report on the 2025-26 Survey of Applied Legal Education

papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... in @ssrn.bsky.social

Abstract
This report presents the results of the 2025-26 Center for the Study of Applied Legal Education (CSALE) Survey of Applied Legal Education. The survey was composed of two parts – a Survey of School Programs directed to ABA-accredited U.S. law schools and a Survey of Instructors distributed to each person teaching in a law clinic or field placement course. Ninety-four percent of law schools and over 1,200 teachers participated in the survey.

The results provide valuable insight into law clinic and field placement programs and courses in areas such as design, capacity, administration, funding, and pedagogy, and into the role and status of clinic and field placement educators in the legal academy. This is CSALE's seventh triennial survey, following up on surveys in 2007-08, 2010-11, 2013-14, 2016-17, 2019-20, and 2022-23.

“The Institutions of Exceptions: Justification in Trade and Investment Treaties.”

repository.law.umich.edu/mjil/vol47/i...

Abstract
International economic law binds states in the interest of liberalizing markets, including in cross-border trade in goods and services (trade) and capital (investment). The treaty regimes for both trade and investment do this by disciplining states through legal rules, while preserving a modicum of governmental authority over domestic policy. The preservation of policy space in these regimes usually involves a process of exceptions-based justification – through formal exceptions clauses in most trade treaties and some investment agreements, and also through informal exceptions-style reasoning by adjudicators in the investment treaty regime more generally. This “exceptions paradigm” of justification has worked well in the trade regime, especially in the WTO where it has been key to securing a justifiable and legitimate balance between market disciplines and regulatory autonomy. But ex post justification has been less successful at striking a tolerable balance in the investment regime, even when formally codified in an exceptions clause. This article seeks to explain why that is, by focusing on the institutions within which exceptionsbased justification is embedded. Key institutional differences between these regimes help explain the varied success of the exceptions paradigm in trade and investment, in particular: the right of action (private vs public); the degree of judicial centralization (ad hoc arbitration vs court system); and the available remedies (retrospective compensation vs prospective injunctive relief). I argue that it is trade law’s public-oriented institutions that have made the exceptions clause workable – not the other way around. By contrast, investment law’s private-oriented institutions make that system particularly inhospitable to exceptions-style justification.

Professor @sbagen.bsky.social: “COVID and the Great Retrenchment” in the Houston Law Review.

"The COVID experience raises serious questions about whether benefits expansions can be durable without first attending to imbalances of political power."

The past six years have seen two dramatic shifts in federal health and benefits policy. First, during the COVID pandemic, the government dramatically expanded public benefits. These expansions had incredibly positive effects, and recipients were largely satisfied with them. But after a relatively short time, Congress rolled back nearly all of the expansion. Worse, the immediate pullback set the stage for even more significant retrenchments in the second Trump Administration. Where in 2023 the United States came closest to universal health care in its history—with a record low uninsured rate of 7.7%—the Trump Administration’s Medicaid cuts and failure to extend enhanced marketplace subsidies will have wiped out essentially all gains made since adoption of the Affordable Care Act. That is not what drafters of the COVID era expansions expected. They thought people would rely on and appreciate the new benefits, resist rollbacks, and lead Congress to make the expansions permanent. These ideas, informed by political science literature on the durability of benefits expansions, have shaped Democratic domestic policy priorities for years.

From the COVID experience, we learned that universal benefits are not as politically durable as many believe, particularly in their early years. Because universal benefits give workers more bargaining power vis à vis employers, employers have strong incentives to fight against such expansions. Opponents recognized that whether benefits programs are understood as universal is a matter of social meaning. They successfully reframed the programs not as universal protections but as compassionate aid for the deserving poor—arguing that extending them stretched programs beyond their purpose. The COVID experience raises serious questions about whether benefits expansions can be durable without first attending to imbalances of political power.
