Stub?

I wonder if this page should be marked as a stub to encourage building it out. After all, HLS is a major US law school, with many important activities (International Law, Negociation, Civil Rights, etc. etc. etc.) , and the only one of these activities that's mentioned is the Berkman Center. --Macrakis 17:58, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)


I agree. I'll mark it with a request for expansion, and maybe refer people to the talk page as to why. --Harro5 05:24, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
I added a list of other programs from the HLS website. Hopefully these can serve as a base for further additions by people more knowledgeable about particular programs.Frontleft 18:31, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Content migrated from the other spelling

The Berkman Center for Internet and Society is a department of Harvard Law School, which focuses on the legal study of cyberspace. The Center sponsors conferences, visiting lecturers, and residential fellows. Members of the Center do research and write books, articles, weblogs with RSS 2.0 feeds, for which the Center holds the specification, and podcasts, of which the first series took place at the Berkman Center. The Center's headquarters is a small Victorian wood-frame building next to the bigger brick-and-stone Harvard Law School buildings. Its newsletter, "The Filter", is on the Web and available by e-mail, and it hosts a blog community of Harvard faculty, students and Berkman Center affiliates. The Berkman Center is funding the Openlaw project.

Fellows have included David Weinberger, Ethan Zuckerman, Dave Winer, Jimbo Wales, Rebecca MacKinnon, John Perry Barlow, Wendy Seltzer, and Dr. James F. Moore.

Faculty have included Charles Nesson, Lawrence Lessig, Jonathan Zittrain, William "Terry" Fisher, and John Palfrey.

Penn's Law School

According to the wikipedia entry for the University of Pennsylvania's Law school, it didn't officially start until well after Harvard's. I don't know which is correct, but one of them should be changed. N Vale 01:21, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Student activities list

This doesn't need to be in an encyclopedic entry, as all the list has are the names of organisations. Unless some of them are extremely notable, and that would be hard to imagine, then I'm going to leave the list on the cutting room floor. Please discuss it here if you disagree, and state why (notability is the only argument relevant). Harro5 05:38, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Ogletree

Tell the Wikitruth! Why was the article about Professor Charles Ogletree completely deleted?

Cheerleading

The introductory paragraph's cheerleading for HLS borders on POV, if it doesn't cross the line. Is it really important to begin the article by emphasizing the various ways in which HLS is superior to its two closest competitors? A more objective take would focus on HLS's position in relation to law schools and the legal profession in general. I'll probably make some edits soon but wanted to give a chance for anyone to defend the current approach before doing so. Christopher M 21:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
