Charles Ogletree[edit]

Tell the Wikitruth! Why was the article about Professor Charles Ogletree completely deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.103.11.199 (talk) 02:09, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adverts?[edit]

A few of the sections here look like ads for the different departments, which makes sense since they look like they were copied from the web pages. Can they be more neutral? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.240.60 (talk) 19:57, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Harvard Law Crest[edit]

The current HLS crest is the old, now discontinued one. The current crest can be found here: https://hls.harvard.edu/about/the-harvard-law-school-shield/.

The page should be updated to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zbp1058 (talk • contribs) 11:54, December 1, 2021 (UTC)

Harvard Law Review[edit]

The first sentence under "Harvard Law Review" seemed a little fuzzy to me. Could someone look at my edit and verify if it still says what was intended. If not, feel free to revert. Many thanks...Makermark (talk) 15:04, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Motto[edit]

An unregistered editor is claiming that this school's motto is "Veritas Lex et Iustitia". Unfortunately, the source they cite doesn't seem to say that anywhere. Those words are certainly on the school's new shield but the only mention of a motto anywhere on that webpage is a quote from the school's dean where he notes that "by combining the words lex et iustitia, with our shared motto veritas, we make explicit that Harvard Law School stands for truth, law, and justice." "Our shared motto veritas," in fact, strongly implies that the school's motto is only "veritas" just like its parent university. ElKevbo (talk) 23:56, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They've also provided a second source that includes the same quote as above and again doesn't say that the law school's motto is "Veritas Lex et Iustitia". ElKevbo (talk) 00:59, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And a third source that also doesn't say that the school's motto has been changed. ElKevbo (talk) 12:03, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concur with ElKevbo on this one. Just because they're adding additional words to the new shield doesn't change the motto itself, "veritas." --Coolcaesar (talk) 15:38, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
