Harvard Student(s) Answering Your Questions Forum

[Jambalaya]

I know someone asked this before, but it hasn't been answered. Does anyone have any insights about the following professors? Do you know whether they allow students to use laptops during lectures?

1) Legislation and Regulation with Mark Tushnet
2) Contracts with Todd Rakoff
3) Torts with Richard Lazarus
4) Civil Procedure with Thomas Lee (Visiting Professor)

So I've just read the "Anonymous Lawyer" (book) and read through the authors blog. How much of it should I believe it reflects the life of an actual Biglaw lawyer?

Last year Tushnet used his own book that I could only find at the coop, but looks like amazon has a few in stock now. Would guess he'll probably use the same one again.

Yes, and most likely not, but as always, depends on the instructor.

If anyone's interested in local sourced food options (farm shares, co-ops, farmer's markets, etc.), I can also put up some information on those.

yes please

Realized I never came back to reply. Depends some on which neighborhood you live in, but I've listed some options below that I use a lot. If you have a car it really opens it up and gives you some more options:

Farmers' Markets (Pretty much one almost every day of the week not too far away, running from Memorial Day - November)
- Monday - Central Sq, not far from the T stop
- Tuesday - Harvard has one right next to the HLS campus in the afternoon
- Wednesday - Davis Sq, right next to the T stop
- Saturday - Nice farmers' market in Union Sq in Somerville, usually with a live band and some other stuff going on
- Sunday - One in Harvard Sq near the Charles Hotel

Farm Shares/CSA
My girlfriend and I get a small share from Enterprise farm and haven't really had any complaints. Lots of pickup locations around (including one about 3 blocks from the law school) and decent rotation of stuff each week. They also do an East Coast winter farm share that gets you a lot of fresh produce from Florida, Georgia, etc. throughout the winter and spring. Another one I've heard good things about is Boston Organics. Little more expensive, but they do home delivery. There are a number of other ones in the area, so with some searching and yelp reviews you can probably find some other good ones.

Local Stores
- Savenors - Really good local butcher not too far from the law school, also carries local produce and cheeses. Kind of expensive, but the meat is high quality and delicious.
- Harvest Co-op - Fully co-op grocery store in Central Sq if you're looking for a local alternative. Not the best produce, but good selection of bulk items and all the standard grocery staples.
- Dave's Fresh Pasta - Near Davis Sq, makes really good fresh pasta and sauces in the store and carries a selection of local produce and dairy, as well as gourmet cheeses and meats. Good wine and beer selection too.

There's always Whole Foods too, and there are 3 in Cambridge and another one right over the line in Medford that are close. The only one really accessible from the T though is in Central Sq, I'd recommend a car for the other 3.

thanks

So I'm only planning on buying my textbooks after September 5th, seeing as thats when my loan money comes in. I'm assuming this should be fine considering I'll only go one day of class without my textbooks, but I just want to make sure I'm not screwing myself over. Does anyone see any issues with this plan?

I notice that the Coop allows us to rent books. I know I could buy books and sell them later, but that's a bit of a hassle, and renting them would save about 300 dollars upfront. Is there any significant reason not to do this? I do not write in textbooks, so not being able to do that isn't a concern for me. I guess I'm just wondering if there's much benefit in having your books after the class is over.

No. I used it, and it's great. And I highlighted a fair amount in my casebook that I rented (although I didn't write much). There's no significant benefit in having your books after the class is offer.

Hey! I need to apply for my cash advance and I am having trouble logging into helios (https://helios.law.harvard.edu/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f). When I tried to log into Helios, I got the response: "There was an error. Please contact the help desk." I just returned from travel overseas and am panicking because I cannot seem to remember the correct username and password. Is there any way I can retrieve my helios username or apply for a new username? Thank you so much!
