JOy*** My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.' INTRODUCTION To signal the beginning of what only trivia buffs fifty years from now likely will remember as Y2K, the editors of the CLINICAL LAW REVIEW invited us to write an article discussing issues we regard as important to the future of clinical legal education. This is a formida- ble task, almost as challenging as the work of the editors themselves in producing the first journal devoted to clinical legal education for the past six years. While we are grateful to the editors for giving us the opportunity to gaze into our collective crystal ball and attempt to pre- dict the future, we must add the disclaimer that we have no particular skills with soothsaying or astrology.2 We embark on this venture with a good measure of trepidation, and we hope that this article will pro- * Associate Professor of Law, The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law. ** Professor of Law, Rutgers School of Law-Newark. *** Professor of Law, Washington University School of Law-St. Louis. We thank all the participants of the Clinical Theory Workshop organized by Stephen Ellmann and hosted by New York Law School on January 26, 2000.

We also thank our respective schools, The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, Rutgers School of Law-Newark, and Washington University School of Law-St. Louis for the financial support for the re- search. In addition, we wish to thank Jane Aiken, Sue Bryant, Deborah Howard, Jon Hy- man, Conrad Johnson, Randi Mandelbaum, and Karen Tokarz for their helpful comments and suggestions. 1 This quote is attributed to Charles F. Kettering, the inventor of the self-starter for automobiles, safety glass, and many other inventions in the early 1900's that helped to shape the direction of technological advancements in the twentieth century.
