| Subject: Harvard law students ask for right-of-center legal clinics to balance leftist clinics Mon Nov 04, 2019 8:33 pm | |
| ‘We are lagging behind, and it’s past time we played catchup’ Harvard Law School offers “unparalleled clinical education” for students – if they’re politically progressive. Right-of-center students are petitioning the administration for more intellectually diverse legal clinics, calling attention to offerings from Yale and Stanford law schools in particular. More than 80 Harvard law students signed a petition asking for legal clinics on subjects such as religious liberty, “pro-life,” Second Amendment, federalism, administrative law, “school choice” and “conservative appellate advocacy.” The two most popular on the list across political leanings are for free speech and civil asset forfeiture, according to Eli Nachmany, a first-year student who helped develop the petition. The formal request “bubbled up” from first-year students, who “saw gaps in advocacy and representation for various underserved communities,” he told The College Fix in an email: “There is tremendous interest on this campus for right-of-center clinical offerings – it was just a matter of someone putting pen to paper.”
