Harvard Law School announced it would waive tuition for third-year law students who pledged to work in the public sector, the Harvard Crimson reports. The program could save a student around $40,000 and is meant to draw students away from corporate law positions. "What this is intended to do is to appeal to students who really want to go into careers in public service but were deterred from doing so because of their fear of carrying around large debt burdens," said the dean.

I think Harvard is the idea place for me to be, not only because of the positive things I've heard or researched but because I plan to be a lawyer one day and I feel that with them I will be the very best one.

I think Harvard Law School is performing well  for the public sectors.Lawers are shortage in public sectors. Crimson -Law school motivatesit students by fee free of charge. Harvard as a private, the topmost universityin the world (THES 2004-2007; ARWU-SJTU 2003-2007) take a role assemi-public university. Waiving tuition for junior student to appeal themfor working in public service is a great initiative....Ongoing..Ongoing processes.Givings are more gaining!  A lot of philanthropists support to the Harvard initiatives.KPuriparinya, Bangkok ,  25-03-2008.
