July 3, 2008 RSS Feed Print

Harvard Law School resumed bar exam review classes Tuesday after a threat posted on an online message board forced officials to cancel sessions the day before, the Harvard Crimson reports. The post, which was accompanied by an image of a gun and ammo read "On Monday, I am bringing my piece and his brother to class. [Dean] Elena Kagan and all those arseholes are going to pay. THEY WILL PAY ATTENTION!"

Although officials are confident the threat has dissipated, the school continues to step up foot patrols, with the help of federal authorities.
