Hi-
As you know, we collect some student demographic data but we don’t capture some of these details so I am sending this to all of you so you can choose to respond as appropriate:
Older Law Students
We want to help to develop community for law students who have come to law school after working or pursuing graduate study in other fields. This group will range in age from late 20s and above but anyone is welcome. We held an event last spring and the attendees decided to adopt the name OWLS (Older and Wiser Law Students) a name used at other schools. Please email dos@law.harvard.edu if you are interested in joining the mailing list.
We’ll hold an OWLS Wine & Cheese Reception
Tuesday, October 4th
4:30-6:30pm
Hark South.
Parents
We have a student group (Parents at the Law School “PALS”) and WLS has a Mothers Network but we would like to compile a complete list because there are a number of times when we want to reach out to students who are parents to announce events of interest. A parents reception will be held shortly. Please email dos@law.harvard.edu if you are interested in joining the mailing list.
Musicians and Artists
We would like to start a list for law student musicians and artists for anything from connecting students for practice/performance opportunities to offering performance/gallery opportunities in the new space. Please email dos@law.harvard.edu if you are interested in joining the mailing list and please specify (e.g. play violin, paint) and let us know if we can share your info with other musicians/artists or if you just want to be notified of performance/gallery opportunities.
Languages
If you speak another language and would like to connect with other students for language tables or other events, please email dos@law.harvard.edu and let us know which language(s) and let us know if we can share your info with other HLS students or if you just want to be notified of language tables.
Thanks!

Each year, we provide a quick overview of campus safety through an annual email and an annual presentation by members of HUPD.
We offer RAD classes at the law school and several members of the Women’s Law Association have trained as SASH advisers (Sexual Assault Sexual Harassment). If there is anything you would like to see us do in terms of campus education/training, please email me.
Reported crime at Harvard is relatively low and largely property related. Please remember that we are located in an urban setting. Therefore, we share many of the safety issues that exist in any city.
Here are some safety updates for 2011-2012:
1. HUPD’s SAFETY AND SECURITY TO‐DO‐LIST

As Dean Minow mentioned in her email, we are kicking off the Living Well in the Law Initiative this afternoon.
Please join us at 5pm in Ames to hear Barry Schwartz, Professor of Social Theory and Social Action, Swarthmore College speak on Practical Wisdom: The Right way to do the Right Thing. Dinner will be served.
Prof Schwartz is author of a number of books including:
The Paradox of Choice
As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis. And in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression.
The Costs of Living: How Market Freedom Erodes the Best Things in Life
Americans have come to view more and more of their lives in free-market, economic terms. Market thinking has permeated education, the professions, sports, family and friendship, and politics. This book presents a criticism of this market view of life, arguing that most of what is good about education, medicine, law, sports, love, friendship, and democratic politics is undermined if the market gets too close to them. Indeed, even the market stops working if people behave in it in the way that economists say people always behave. Thus, the book argues, the market erodes the best things in life, and must be restrained, not encouraged, in its movement into places where it doesn’t belong. The book is aimed at a non-professional audience.
The Battle for Human Nature: Science, Morality and Modern Life
This book presents the view of human nature as entirely governed by self-interest that is shared by the disciplines of evolutionary biology, neoclassical economics, and behavioral psychology. It shows what these disciplines have in common in their approach to understanding human nature, and contrasts their view with most people’s everyday conceptions of what human nature is like. After presenting the theoretical perspectives of each of these disciples, the book turns a critical eye on them, and argues that their views are at best limited, and often simply wrong. However, the book finally argues, we cannot expect the errors of these disciplines to be self-correcting, for if people and the social institutions they live within come to believe these disciplines, then our social lives will come to look more and more like a confirmation of the picture of human nature that they paint. The last two chapters of the book sketch a picture of the mean-spirited world that would result if we took these disciplines to be telling us the truth about human beings. The style of the book is aimed at educated non-professionals

We hope to see you there!
