Congratulations LL.M. Class of 2008We Are Almost There
Some of my fellow LL.M. students have asked me to share my sentiments about our experiences at Harvard Law School. I am honored by their request and humbly comply. This is not a good-bye essay but an "until we meet again" message. First and foremost, I congratulate the LL.…

From Alexandria to the Outskirts of Empire
The Great Library of Alexandria, founded around 300BC, was the locus point for philosophers, mathematicians, and scholars of every kind. At its height, the Library held 750,000 scrolls, acquired by the Ptolemies from the many markets of the Mediterranean.…

Point: Prostitution Must Remain Criminalized
Editor's Note: The issue of sex work forms the basis of one of the most heated contemporary arguments among feminists. Those who support the abolition of prostitution often look at poststructuralist/postmodern feminists with confusion and anger.

Showing Support for More Creative Careers
In a few short weeks, the current crop of 3Ls will graduate, and make their way into the world. Doubtless the vast majority will be headed to law firms, which have showered them with gifts and dinners in the course of passionate summer courtships, and now promise them the stability of a long-term commitment: an easy entry (or re-entry) into the "real world.…

Recognition with Revisions: HLS in 2013
