Mission:
“Fostering interest and discussion within the Harvard Law School community about the legal issues facing cities and local governments today, and connecting students with career opportunities in local governments and organizations that work on issues at the local level.”
History:
The Forum on Local Government was created in 2001 by then first-year law students Rob McCreanor and Charles Imohiesen with the help and encouragement of Harvard Law School professor David Barron. The aim was to encourage more discourse at the Harvard Law School about the legal and policy issues that were then facing local governments across the country. Toward this end, Rob and Charles organized a panel of speakers on inequitable school funding within states, looking in particular at Campaign for Fiscal Equity’s lawsuit against New York State in response to the State’s underfunding of New York City schools relative to suburban districts. Since 2001, the Forum has continued to attract a variety of speakers and helped law school students find jobs in city governments and public interest organizations that work on local government law-related issues.

There are to many issues with cities and local governments and more litigation is not what is needed. The last thing that is needed right now are cities hiring more people to deal with the messes they have put themselves in. I live in portland and we just spent 4.3 million on a project that saves 164,000 per year and we are borrowing the money at 5% which is 200,000 per year. Wow- they need brains not attorneys
December 27th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Best of luck with helping the government hire anyone in these times.

I just downloaded a free book about financial aid and scholarships. It sells for $29 on Amazon so it may or may not be free forever. It’s pretty good and I thought it was worth my time given how tough the financial side of education has become for all of us http://www.thedegree.com/freebook
