A first edition of Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan was among the books donated by Professor W. Michael Reisman from the Lasswell collection.

Of Lasswell, Associate Librarian for Collections and Access Fred Shapiro said, “He wasn’t just a law professor, but also an important political scientist who is an emblematic figure for Yale Law School, because Yale Law School is known for its students being interested in the connec- tions between the law and the social sci- ences.” The Lillian Goldman Library has one of the world’s leading collections of rare books and is actively committed to build- ing its rare book collection in an effort to contribute generally to world scholarship.

Dean Harold Hongju Koh invited President and ceo Larry Lucchino ’71 and members of the Red Sox organization to an impromptu rally in the Law School Courtyard in November, where the World Series trophy was displayed to an adoring crowd of longtime fans from the yls community.

(Left) Third baseman signs autographs at Dean Koh’s desk, where the dean’s extensive collection of Red Sox memorabilia is on display; (far left) Law School building attendant John Herpok, a lifelong Red Sox fan, seizes the moment and hoists the trophy high.

*As the Law School is a place where dissenting views are encouraged, Dean Koh received several messages from Yankee fans. An email from Michael Chepiga ’79 proclaimed that surely “the Dean of the Yale Law School would never engage in such partisan, divisive, and potentially unconstitutional activities” and objected to “the blatant misuse of your high office and of the School Courtyard.” Perhaps Chipega spoke for other fans of the Bronx Bombers when he asked for equal time for Yankees owner George Steinbrenner to visit the School, and share his expertise in “Contracts: How to Sign Them.” Student Prizes 2003–04
