Nader Talks

Almost no aspect of Harvard Law School--from the curriculum to the professors--escaped a blistering attack offered by consumer advocate Ralph Nader in a Harvard speech yesterday.

"What is legal education if you can't improve the institution of which you are a part?" Nader asked a crowed of over 200 gathered at the Law School Forum.

Nader, who graduated from the Law School in 1958, warned the future lawyers against accepting the "circumscribed horizons" of corporate law he said the school fosters.

He encouraged students to continue the activism evidenced in the Law School protests of last year. "If you don't build up on this momentum, it may not build up again," he warned.

Nader also urged charges in grading policy, the corporate law internships students take, and professors' reluctance to tell students about their work outside the Law School.

Harvard puts too much emphasis on corporate and tax law, rather than personal liability law, Nader assorted. He advised students to "wander in and around prisons, courtrooms, factories, down to he docks--see what it does to you."

What you've get it made, you're dine for, "Nader talk. "It's two rewording to stay in the system."
