This article presents civil litigation assistance from the perspective of “civic republicanism,” Margulies’ preferred term for open mindedness, flexibility, and lack of bias for lawyers when approaching new clients. Margulies also promotes the benefits of clinical legal educations, and expounds on a few best practices to be reinforced by clinical education.
