Harvard Law School

Harvard Law School (HLS) is one of the professional graduate schools of Harvard University. It is a highly prestigious and respected American law school with about 2,000 students in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The result: 14 graduates have served on the high court (plus another four justices who attended), more than any other law school. HLS routinely places first or second in various law school rankings. According to US News and World Report, its entering class boasts the highest LSAT scores in the nation and its graduates have a higher bar passage rate and average salary upon graduation than do graduates of its closest rivals Stanford and Yale.

Berkman Center for Internet & Society

The Harvard Law School includes the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, 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, and weblogs with RSS 2.0 feeds, for which the Center holds the specification. 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.
