Cleveland Houston - Kirsten Bermingham, OPIA Program London Coordinator Philadelphia *The Cleveland Guide was updated by OPIA Intern Paige von Mehren. 2 Cleveland is a very friendly city, with real Midwestern character. It has historically been given unflattering nicknames such as “the mistake on the lake,” but in reality it offers a very high quality of life at a very low cost of living. Cleveland offers some of the Midwest’s best art, culture and nightlife opportunities. The Cuyahoga River runs through the heart of downtown Cleveland and forms the dividing line between the “East Side” and the “West Side” of the greater Cleveland area. Be sure to check out the “Best of Cleveland,” which is the result of a survey done each year by Cleveland Scene Magazine. The survey asks Cleveland-area residents to vote for their favorite places in categories like “Bars & Clubs,” “People & Places,” and “Food & Drink”, so this is a great up-to- date resource to find out about hidden gems in the Greater Cleveland area. 2013’s results (which include over 35,000 votes) are available at http://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/BestOf?year=2013. Each year voting closes around the end of March, and results are published soon after so look through it before coming to Cleveland in order to get a sense of what Clevelanders think is the best the city has to offer! Also check out CoolCleveland.com, which is run by a local resident and highlights events going on weekly in the city. You can also sign up for an email newsletter to stay up to date. Housing The cost of housing in Cleveland is extremely low compared to most major U.S. cities. The best way to find housing for the summer is to look in the real estate section of the Cleveland Plain Dealer (the city’s major newspaper). See: www.cleveland.com/realestate/. You can also check out the Cleveland Craigslist directory at http://cleveland.craigslist.org/. If you will be working downtown, your best bet will likely be to find housing on the near east or west side. While some housing may be available downtown, finding a summer rental may be difficult. Most of the downtown housing is made up of newer luxury condos and, east of the river, some single family homes. The near east side is home to students at Cleveland State University, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Institute of Music and the Cleveland Institute of Art. Check out the housing share websites for these schools for summer housing openings. See, for example, http://law.case.edu/student_life/housing.asp or www.rentals.com/Ohio/Cleveland/. The neighborhoods near Little Italy (a neighborhood on the near east side of Cleveland) and Coventry (a neighborhood in Cleveland Heights) have apartment buildings and multi-family homes that may have summer space available. Lakewood, on the near west side, is a friendly, walkable city. Lakewood also has a number of apartment buildings and multi-family homes that may have summer space available. 3 Transportation Car Cleveland is predominantly a driving city, so if you have a car then you will definitely want to take it. Major highways in the area are toll-free (the Turnpike – which is south of Cleveland – has tolls, but there’s almost always an alternate toll-free route that will get you where you need to go in almost the same amount of time). Many companies located downtown provide parking for employees. Since street or free parking in the downtown area can be limited, you may want to check with your employer to see if they provide parking. There are many paid parking lots downtown that are pretty affordable (usually around $10 or less, although rates can go up when there are special events such as a concert or a game), so finding a spot will not be a problem if you don’t mind paying. If you want to take a weekend trip, there are several other cities within driving distance, including Columbus (2 hours), Pittsburgh (2 hours), Cincinnati (4 hours) and Chicago (5.5 hours). RTA (Bus and Train) The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) provides bus service throughout the city and suburbs and a rapid transit system (basically an aboveground subway). While the “Rapid,” the vernacular term for the rapid transit system, is fairly quick and reliable, its service is somewhat limited. The buses are much more ubiquitous, and include city buses (which stop frequently and are not always on-time) and express buses (which run non-stop between the suburbs and downtown and are generally reliable). To see route maps and schedules, go to http://www.riderta.com/schedules/#rail. You can pay individual fares with cash ($2.25 for the bus or for the Rapid) or buy passes for 5 trips ($11.25), 1 day ($5.00), 7 days ($22.50), or 1 month ($85.00). These fares are subject to change, so be sure to check http://www.riderta.com/fares/ for the most up-to-date information. By Air There are two commercial airports in the region: Hopkins International Airport and Akron- Canton Airport. Hopkins is the larger of the two, and is a hub for United Airlines. Akron-Canton is a smaller, regional airport where the fares are often cheaper (although it is about an hour and fifteen minute drive south of Cleveland). Airtran has cheap flights out of Akron-Canton, including very affordable flights to and from Boston Logan. By Bus Megabus has service from Cleveland to plenty of cities in the region, including Chicago, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and New York City. You can also take Greyhound. 4 Groceries As in any city, grocery stores abound in the Cleveland area. You will likely also find that food costs less in Cleveland than it does in Boston (if you know where to go). If you are looking for organic food on the West Side, visit Nature’s Bin on Sloane Avenue in Lakewood or Trader Joe’s at Crocker Park in Westlake. On the East Side, both a Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are located on Chagrin Blvd in Shaker Heights. You should also pay a visit to the West Side Market on W. 25th and Lorain Rd. in Ohio City. The Market has been an integral part of Cleveland since 1840. It features fresh fruit, vegetables, seafood and meat. There are also vendors who sell pastries, cakes, bread, and other ready-to-eat foods. The vendors reflect the cultural diversity of Cleveland, and include vendors of Irish, German, Slovene, Italian, Greek, Polish, Russian, and Middle Eastern descent. Go to http://www.westsidemarket.org/vendors.aspx to see a list of the regular vendors. The Market’s hours are Monday and Wednesday from 7am-4pm and Friday and Saturday from 7am-6pm. There are also several conventional grocery stores in the area. The two dominant chains are Heinen’s and Giant Eagle. Heinen’s is a chain of large grocery stores that are a bit more upscale (and slightly more pricey) than their competitors. Although the menus vary by location, they also offer prepared foods ranging from sushi to sandwiches to make-your-own stir-fry, all of which are more expensive than buying groceries and cooking for yourself but can be good for a quick lunch.

  • Marking 200 Years of Legal Education: Traditions of Change, Reasoned Debate, and Finding Differences and Commonalities
    MARKING 200 YEARS OF LEGAL EDUCATION: TRADITIONS OF CHANGE, REASONED DEBATE, AND FINDING DIFFERENCES AND COMMONALITIES Martha Minow∗ What is the significance of legal education? “Plato tells us that, of all kinds of knowledge, the knowledge of good laws may do most for the learner. A deep study of the science of law, he adds, may do more than all other writing to give soundness to our judgment and stability to the state.”1 So explained Dean Roscoe Pound of Harvard Law School in 1923,2 and his words resonate nearly a century later. But missing are three other possibilities regarding the value of legal education: To assess, critique, and improve laws and legal institutions; To train those who pursue careers based on legal training, which may mean work as lawyers and judges; leaders of businesses, civic institutions, and political bodies; legal academics; or entre- preneurs, writers, and social critics; and To advance the practice in and study of reasoned arguments used to express and resolve disputes, to identify commonalities and dif- ferences, to build institutions of governance within and between communities, and to model alternatives to violence in the inevi- table differences that people, groups, and nations see and feel with one another. The bicentennial of Harvard Law School prompts this brief explo- ration of the past, present, and future of legal education and scholarship, with what I hope readers will not begrudge is a special focus on one particular law school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ∗ Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence; until July 1, 2017, Morgan and Helen Chu Dean and Professor, Harvard Law School.

  • Reorganization at the Harvard Law School Library (A)
    Reorganization at the Harvard Law School Library (A) As a new and self-proclaimed “rookie” library leader, John Palfrey reflected on recent reorganization activities at the Harvard Law School Library with equal measures of pride and uncertainty. Had the process really gone as well as many thought? What had been done right? Could a different approach have been taken that would have produced less fear, trepidation, and anxiety among library staff? How might his experience help other library leaders struggling with how to best meet the challenges of organizational change and library transformation? Harvard Law School Established in 1817, Harvard Law School (HLS) is the oldest continuously operating law school in the United States. Several leading national publications consistently ranked HLS among the top three law schools in the country. Historically, HLS had admitted about ten percent of its applicants annually and boasted such notable alumni as United States President Barack Obama and, in 2011, six of the nine sitting Justices of the United States Supreme Court. During the 1980’s and 1990’s, HLS had also been known for its politically contentious faculty. During that period, a divide between conservative and liberal faculty members led to very public squabbles about faculty appointments, tenure cases, and policy decisions. Deadlocked by bitter ideological infighting, the faculty had gone years without a single new hire. Newer faculty levied charges of political incorrectness against older faculty, particularly regarding minority and feminist issues. Unrest then spread to the student body, when, in 1992, nine students occupied the office of then-Dean Robert Clark for a twenty-five hour sit-in protesting a lack of black and female faculty.

Pianka Honored With Morton L. Mandel Leadership in Community Development Award CLEVELAND, May 24, 2017 — Today, Cleveland’s thriving community development industry celebrated the creation of an innovative promotional campaign in Old Brooklyn, a community driven neighborhood funding initiative in Collinwood, a healthy living program on the near west side, a socially conscious bridge painting in the Campus District and transformative efforts by local developers and civic champions. It all happened at the third annual Vibrant City Awards Lunch, where over 500 city leaders, stakeholders and community development professionals gathered to celebrate leading neighborhood revitalization efforts. The event was hosted by Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and presented by KeyBank. Guests gathered at Cleveland’s Edgewater Park to enjoy a food truck lunch coordinated by Chef Chris Hodgson of Driftwood Catering and to honor the 18 award finalists and eight Vibrant City Award recipients. Cleveland Neighborhood Progress president Joel Ratner offered enthusiastic praise for all of the vital partnerships and collaborative efforts from those in attendance that have allowed the city to take important strides forward. “Cleveland’s neighborhoods would not be where they are today without the vision, passion and dedication displayed by the partners joining us here at the Vibrant City Awards Lunch” stated Ratner. “We are proud to honor the leading efforts in community development that are attracting new residents to our city and creating stronger neighborhoods for those who choose to call Cleveland home.” Debbie Berry, Metroparks Commissioner, welcomed the guests and kicked off the event.
