My friend got a phone call with Noah Feldman (one of those "let me tell you why Harvard" calls) because they have common interests. SO INSANELY JEALOUS
Is there a reason TLS loves him? No pic :/

My preliminary favorite (without meeting any of them) is Guhan Subramanian.

I don't think this is exclusive to TLS. Pretty much the whole world loves him.

That being said, Guhan Subramanian seemed like a cool guy, and more importantly, he is wayy more pertinent to my interests. I will definitely want to take classes with him.

lol'ed at this.

Guhan Subramanian is 180. I would be thrilled to take his classes.

I am surprised (though I probably shouldn't be) that there are so many business minded people in this thread.

Also, I know this is late but I pronounce LOCI as L. O. C. I. Each letter individually. hth

Thx Specs for the pronunciation guide.

TBH I wouldn't be really surprised if most people going to HLS are aiming for business/corporate law. I think it is one major advantage of HLS over Y or S, right? You have HBS next door.

Yes, though mostly over Y (as their business school is not that impressive and rather niche). SBS is peer with HBS.

Yeah, you are right. I totally overlooked that. I just have a thing for the East Coast.

I did - was a little disappointed he didn't show up to the faculty lunch on Monday of ASW though...

Le sigh.

I just want to mention that my girlfriend, who was at ASW, called him "the spicy professor" at least 10 times.

jingosaur · Post by **jingosaur** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 2:56 pm

I have business law interests and I got Professor Subramanian's book but I know there's another corporate law book going out. He wasn't at the ASW, but I got an e-mail from him and talked to him on the phone because I'm considering the JD/MBA program.

Mine considers him a legitimate threat to our relationship. If only.

Yeah I got a book on corporate governance

Haven't gotten a book yet.

Anyway, what is justice? Asking for a friend.

I got tushnet's book but I get feldman as my professor to call and tell me why harvard!

Not sure if it's cause of similar background, similar academic interest, or actually name-dropping him in my personal statement in a final-paragraph "why harvard" conclusion. Well, I'm pretty sure it's the last, actually. I made that one easy for the admissions folk.

lol forealz. They requested an additional form from my parents, so I'm hoping that didn't reset my ticker. I've heard about some generous offers(well, one) so I'm hoping for dat $$$

No book, no Feldman, no scholarship notification.

I'm sure most of you have already seen these — and I also know nobody clicks on YouTube links — but in case you've missed any, or someone wants to be initiated, here are a few that I found most interesting:

LawSchoolChannel's Introduction (akin to an HLS survey course)
Dean Minnow addresses the incoming classes (pretty intense as far as welcome addresses go)
Dean Minnow addresses the crowd at the 2013 Commencement
JD Student Speaker addresses her class at the 2013 Commencement
Interview Justice Breyer
Interview with RBG
Interview with Justice Thomas
Interview with Justice Kagan

For any new people who haven't scrolled through the forum... Neprep's video links are a must-watch.

But no one loves Noah Feldman more than Noah Feldman does

Subramanian is great though; I've heard great things about him from friends who took his class. I unfortunately was never able to. I'm sad that Ashish Nanda is no longer teaching a class at HLS (he left to go become the Dean/Director of Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad -- best B school there apparently) because his class was probably the best class I took at HLS (if not in delivery, certainly in how it's changed my outlook on my professional career).

Welp, I am a total idiot and an asshole. Accidentally just started a convo about applying for financial aid in the applicants thread.

Malleus and Pneumonia are the worst for continuing the productive conversation. Damn you two and your helpful information!
