In the spirit of social learning spaces, we present a special issue of the Journal for Research and Practice in College Teaching that showcases both the process and the product of the case clinic. In Communities of Practice within and across Organizations: A guidebook, Wenger-Trayner et al (2023) describe a case clinic as, “A member brings a real-life challenge to the community and members struggle with it together. Because it is triggered by a need emerging from practice, the case clinic is the quintessential social learning activity” (145). These articles based on case clinics document the collaborative process of this method of exploring the complexity of problems that groups are engaged in solving.
