Possible Futures

Given that Harvard Law School is the birthplace of clinical legal education, and as someone who has benefited greatly from the school's clinical programs, I would love to see participation in a clinical program made a graduation requirement—both for the tremendous benefit that this experience can add to one's legal education and because I think it's important that students use the skills and resources they receive here on behalf of the broader community. And as one of the few indigenous students at Harvard Law School, given how many indigenous communities are located in remote areas, I would like to see this institution find new ways to attract and encourage applicants from remote communities. So, when I imagine Harvard Law School 25 years from now, say, I see more indigenous students, and more students from remote and rural communities, making up the student body. And I see more students from the law school out in the community, using their legal education to help others.
