  • 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.

  • Scrutinised Long Manifestos - Tt20 (2Nd Election)
    SCRUTINISED LONG MANIFESTOS - TT20 (2ND ELECTION) CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT Amy Gregg (Ex-Treasurer, Exeter College ) - Candidate for President-Elect - Long Manifesto The Union has had significant setbacks in the last few years. I did not intend to run this term, but it is clear that the Union needs a President who has the experience and the capability to set it back on the right course. The Union can do so much better, and the Union must do so much better. As an undergraduate, I was President of the Cambridge Union. During this time I ran a record-setting membership drive, managed a £100,000 budget, and hosted over thirty speakers including Stephen Fry, Quentin Blake and Moazzam Begg. After leaving Cambridge I was a trainee solicitor at a Magic Circle Law firm, and I now hold an offer for a pupillage to be a barrister. I have real world experience which I can use to improve our Union as well. I previously served on committee for 7 terms. In this time I arranged 5 debates, including confirming 5/6 speakers for the Comedy debate. I ran Debates, Panels and Speaker events, confirmed multiple speakers and chaired the Union’s largest committee. I also spent over 50 days of vacation working for the Union and made 3 winning paper speeches. As Treasurer I secured 29 debate Floor Prizes, 12 New Treasurer’s Treats and coordinated sponsorship from a major Scholarship fund - ensuring transparency by publishing the audited accounts on the app. This demonstrates that I have the ability to run the Union, but it also made me realise: the Union needs real change - change only an experienced President can bring.

However, there are common threads: challenging situations and adversity; problem solving; being prepared; mitigating impact; overcoming a personal or community challenge or obstacle; and adapting and building resilience. In all of these situations it’s about communitities coming together to provide mutual support and build resilience. Debating is a great way of encouraging this process and there are many ways that the whole class can be involved in debating, building on the strengths of each individual pupil who will contribute to the activity in different ways, developing confidence and skills that will be useful to themselves and their communities throughout their lives.

Built by John Tayloe in 1758, the Richmond County, Virginia house is still occupied by direct descendents of the builder. It is a remarkable expression of the Palladian ideal. A central pavilion made of locally quarried materials and of rusticated Aquia Creek sandstone is connected to square dependencies by curved hyphens.
