To be honest I'm feeling very passive-aggressive about this. I no longer intend to attend Harvard if I get in, and J don't feel like wasting the time and the stamp to send them a letter stating exactly what I told them in the email.
Should I just man up and write the damned letter or should I just let the cycle expire and wait for JR to ding me?

Honestly more than anything you need to watch out for your other school's commitment rules. Some schools say you only have to withdraw from schools where you have offers, some say admits and you can't stay on waitlists, and some want you to pull all your applications anywhere. So make sure you follow the rules of wherever you're depositing so you don't get in trouble down the line for having an active HLS app when you're not supposed to.

Especially scholarship recipients who may be entering into a binding contract.

After April 1, except under binding early decision plans, every accepted applicant should be free to accept a new offer from a law school even though a scholarship has been accepted, a deposit has been paid, or a committment [sic] has been made to another school. To provide applicants with an uncoerced choice among various law schools, no excessive nonrefundable deposit should be required solely to maintain a place in the class. (Emphasis added.)

You can deposit elsewhere and wait it out until you get a decision (waitlists and held are technically not a final decision) from H. The only thing a school can prohibit is deposits at multiple schools at the same time - most schools dont even do that (CLS is the one example I saw). I think for sanity and in fairness to other applicants it is best to make one deposit but there is nothing wrong with remaining on waitlists. Everyone who is on a waitlist will have deposited elsewhere and is also allowed to change their mind if they get in - thats the whole point of waitlists.
Not 100% on scholarship contracts but I'd guess they follow the same principle?

Yeah, I'm not 100% on whether this applies to scholarship contracts. It would be awful if it didn't...
Any ideas?

Haha, very true.
And all of the goodbye posts in this thread sound like presidential candidates conceding an election. Like one of the posters mentioned above, very honorable stuff around here.
At least some of us have been put out of our waiting game misery. I just hope HLS spares me a ding on my birthday...hopefully it can wait till tomorrow and today will be quiet...(but I hope the rest of you get some positive news)!

Happy Birthday!
LOL at comparing posters to candidates. I love it. Am I the only one who cried when Hillary stepped down in '08? (And I voted for Obama in the primary, I'm just sayin'. <3 Hil!)
/hecka off topic
But anyway, I concur with the prediction above: lots of hold dings, then lots of hold waitlists comin up
