Harvard Law School Students Protest By Sleeping-in At Law School



Meetings Before the Sleep-in at Harvard Law School

Sounds like a job for the Cambridge Inspectional Services. Is this lounge fit for human habitation? Is the building zoned for use as a student lodging house? Will persons without homes be allowed to visit overnight too? "Karefa-Johnson said that Law School activists today aim to broaden the scope of their efforts.' This is about HLS, but it’s also about inequality in America,' she said." Are persons with disabilities included in the scope? Will the rules of evidence be purged of its anti disability protocols? Will courts end the common practice, taught at HLS, of discrediting witnesses and victims based on their disability? Imagine black witnesses discredited because they are black. "Your Honor this witness is obviously black and whatever she says should be excluded for that reason alone." Ahhhh-hem!
