hey Paavo, yes, thats how I knew of Duncan Kennedy first. I must say he has mellowed down a bit from that era, it seems. His other scholarship are as interesting or even more so than that piece, I'm taking a class based on his article 'Three Globalizations of Law'. It's mind-boggling everyday, it seems but interesting enough to challenge you and keep you thinking.

Hey ricey, thanks for the update. Just out of interest, did you read Prof. Kennedy's "little red book" (legal education and the reproduction of hierarchy) before you took his class? Looking forward to some insights into how his classes are/have been. Best of luck with the work,

Paavo

hello there avo! yep you basically register for the whole year in advance. but there are add/drop periods just before winter term and before spring term, so technically, you can still change your subjects, for as long as there are still spaces left.

hey ricey, i'm just curious, you mentioned to me earlier that you have also registered for classes with other profs, like mr. clark. does this mean that at the start of the program, you are already registered for all the classes that you want to take? hope you're doing well. :)

What I mean by that statement is that they give you everything you need so the only thing you have to do is just to study. In my home country, we still have to photocopy our own materials, or find the articles needed for class. Here, even the reading list for your research topic can be given by any one of the fantastic librarians so you don't have to search. Of course there are a lot of fun activities as well- my classmates often have drinking and dancing parties and the activities going on everyday include both academic and social events so lots of opportunities to interact, to network and to make lots of new friends.

Hi ricey! As always, thanks for the information!!! I want to ask you about something you said: "Also, it seems like the only thing you need to do in Harvard is study". It is really like that? You only have time for studing or you also have fun? What about the weekends? What about networking? etc.

Best regards!
