HLS Justice for Palestine hosts Professors Kennedy and Feldman in their fourth annual debate, held on March 1, 2012 at Harvard Law School.

The discussions on legal education have drawn much attention in recent years, but too often they are limited within one place or one group of people. This project intends to help overcome these limits. Through recording short video statements on legal education reform and make them available online, we intend to create a forum that involves law school deans, leading professors, practitioners, and students from different countries in the world. We urge your participation through either making comments on the video or submitting your own videos to us. Let your ideas about the future of legal education be heard. This initiative is part of the series of projects leading up the the Global Legal Education Forum to take place March 23-25, 2012 at Harvard Law School.
