HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Fifteen German jurists concluded a six day visit to Harvard yesterday. The group, made up of judges and law professors, is on an American Military Government-sponsored tour to study legal education and the legal structure of the United States.
Although they admire much in American teaching methods, the legal experts said, they doubted if many reforms were possible in German legal instruction because of the difference in legal systems. German law is codified, whereas American law rests on precedent.
The most notable difference between American and German university life, the German lawyers felt, is that no German universities provide dormitory facilities.
Michigan is the next stop on the jurists' tour of American law schools, which has already included Yale and Columbia, The lawyers will leave for Ann Arbor, Michigan tomorrow, by the way of Niagara Falls.
