Hi all,

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society and the Harvard Law School library seek a full-time Project Manager to advance their joint project, H2O. H2O is an online platform for textbook development and distribution, currently in a pilot stage. H2O is based on the open source model � instead of locking down materials in formalized textbooks, we believe that course books can be free (as in free speech) for everyone to access and, equally important, build upon.

Using H2O, professors can freely pull together materials for a course by selecting cases, editing those cases to the sections that are most relevant, and grouping them into readings. Once the materials are assembled, they can be copied in part or in whole by other interested faculty and then edited further. H2O has been successfully piloted in Jonathan Zittrain�s 1L Torts class, and will be rolling out further over the coming year.

H2O�s project manager will play a leading role in shepherding H2O into its next phase, which will focus on developing new materials and incorporating additional features, in order to expand the platform beyond its law school roots.

The Project Manager will be housed at the HLS Library and work in close collaboration with lead members of the Library Innovation Lab team; he/she will also work closely with the Berkman Center and current H2O teams.

All best,
Becca

H2O Project Manager/Technical Lead

Duties & Responsibilities

A joint project of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society and the Harvard Law School library, H2O is an online platform for textbook development and distribution, currently in a pilot stage.

H2O is currently seeking a full-time Project Manager who will play a leading role in shepherding H2O into its next phase, which will focus on: developing new materials and incorporating additional features, in order to expand the platform beyond its law school roots, and opening up the possibility for wide use and diverse application at Harvard and beyond. This could be an exciting opportunity for a law graduate who wishes to conduct research and contribute to curriculum development before going on to another opportunity, such as a clerkship or fellowship.

The Project Manager will be housed at the HLS Library and work in close collaboration with lead members of the Library Innovation Lab team; he/she will also work closely with the Berkman Center and current H2O teams.

Primary responsibilities will include:

Developing New Materials and Supporting New Courses

The Project Manager will be responsible for overseeing a team of summer interns who will be tasked with developing these materials and liaising with library staff for the collection of cases and other materials. He/she will also be the primary interface with new professors and work with them to develop their materials, syllabi, etc.

Developing and Implementing new technical features.

The Project Manager will work closely with the team and web developers and designers to identify priority areas for development. In addition, he/she will continue to guide our efforts to ensure that H2O software is broadly accessible; continued development and innovation in this arena is a key priority.

In addition to overseeing and guiding these priority efforts, the Project Manager will be generally responsible for performing various research and coordination activities associated with the expansion and development of the H2O platform. Primary substantive responsibilities will be to: (a) oversee the development of new materials as described above, including interfacing with faculty, coordinating an intern team and working closely with the existing H2O team; (b) drive the development and implementation of Phase 2 technical features and enhancements.

Additionally, the Project Manager will manage the strategic project planning and implementation, including evangelizing the platform with a particular focus on professors who are currently using it, and outreach to those who may consider it in the future; driving fundraising efforts in support of the next phase of the project; and working with the team to develop communications around new developments, with the goal of spreading H2O's use across diverse courses and disciplines around the University.

This is a term-limited position ending June 30, 2013; continuation contingent upon project status and finding.

Basic Qualifications

Candidate must have experience in project management, including leading/working across diverse teams.

Additional Qualifications

Advanced degree in law is strongly preferred. Experience doing technical, substantive and organizational work for non-governmental or academic organizations strongly preferred, in addition to experience in managing and guiding participating researchers or collaborators. Technical experience and facility also a plus, in addition to curriculum creation experience.

Candidate must pay great attention to detail and be highly organized. Ability to work under tight deadlines a must. Excellent writing, editing and proofreading skills required. Candidate would thrive in dynamic, entrepreneurial, self-motivated environment. Must be a team player, able to work alone and in teams.

About the Berkman Center for Internet & Society:

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University is a research program founded to explore cyberspace, share in its study, and help pioneer its development. Founded in 1997, through a generous gift from Jack N. and Lillian R. Berkman, the Center is home to an ever-growing community of faculty, fellows, staff, and affiliates working on projects that span the broad range of intersections between cyberspace, technology, and society. More information can be found at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu

About the Harvard Library Innovation Laboratory at Harvard Law School:

The Harvard Library Innovation Laboratory implements in software ideas about how libraries can be ever more valuable. The Lab works in three broad areas: thinking in public, building software that demonstrates how libraries can bring yet more value to scholars and researchers, and amplifying our effect by eagerly partnering with other groups with similar passions. More information can be found at http://www.librarylab.law.harvard.edu/

About H2O:

H2O is a Web-based platform for creating, editing, organizing, consuming, and sharing course materials. H2O is based on the open source model, a method of writing software that relies on the strength and skills of a community, rather than a single person, to develop a product. Instead of locking down materials in formalized casebooks, we believe that course books should be �free� (as in free speech) for everyone to access and build upon. Using H2O, professors can freely pull together materials for a course by selecting cases, editing those cases to the sections that are most relevant, and grouping them into readings. Once the materials are assembled, they can be copied in part or in whole by other interested faculty and then edited further. H2O has been successfully piloted in Professor Jonathan Zittrain�s 1L Torts class, and will be rolling out further over the coming year.

Probably just stick to Chapter 7.

This works, and its a good market. Sticking with 7's is definitely the way to go until you're comfortable with the system. Just another bit of advice is that often your best option for some clients is to turn them away. When they walk in the door they don't know what they want, so if you stick to 7's then a decent % of your clients walking in the door won't qualify/need it/etc. You could think it's a slam-dunk 7, then realize late in the game that they don't qualify for whatever reason. They may have already paid significant money, and your rent/mortgage is due and it's really painful to consider handing it back. But if your spider-sense is tingling and it's blowing up into a 13 or messy 7, then let the case go. It's hard to turn paying clients away, but a 7 only practice will require it.

Sticking to chapter 7 is definitely the way to start, as 13's are a god drat mystery in comparison. It can dovetail with finding a mentor type bankruptcy attorney in your area. They answer your chapter 7 questions, and you send them your messy cases. I'm in the Eastern District of VA, and you'll be Western.

This continues to puzzle me. Why become a prosecutor if you don't want to take cases to trial?

Burnout and/or pressure to keep a 98% conviction rate.

Also, quite frankly where I last worked the number of cases set for trial any one week would take a month to try (in large part because a certain DA had terrible deals). That basically means that a majority will have to be dismissed that day.

I'm an over-represented minority. Should I decline to report my race on the LSAC website?

Also I'm planning on writing the LSAT in October 2012, so I'm putting together a reading list. Will the 3 Powerscore Bibles (LG, LR and RC, published 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively - still relevant?) plus some LSAC preptests provide a good enough background? I got a 168 on the 2007 LSAT from the LSAC website with 30 minutes per section so a course seems like it would be a waste of money. The OP recommends Powerscore but it was written many moons ago so I figured I'd test the current waters.

Good luck to everyone who still has finals!

And even if you want to take cases to trial, it probably isn't practical to take all of them to trial, just from a time perspective - you may want to take cases to trial but if you have three times as many cases as you can deal with, you're going to need to find some non-trial way to dispose of some of them.

I'm talking about people who are legitimately trial averse, and take extraordinary steps to do as few as possible (ideally none) and are surprisingly common in prosecutor and public defender's offices. Few of them have judicial ambitions, at least that aren't buried deeply enough to effect their decision makin process, and prosecution doesn't pay well enough at the entry level for it to be much of a draw, though it's certainly not the worst. Status kind of makes sense I guess, but people can have mixed reactions to it. I just find it odd that so many fundamentally trial- and conflict-averse people are drawn to state criminal practice when it's probably the most trial heavy and contentious field of law that exists in the US.

Do any offices actually do poo poo like this? I've literally never encountered this, and it seems like it would be ridiculous and almost impossible to enforce. Like what's a conviction for these purposes? Giving the case away with a really low deal? Pleading it out to lesser amended charges? Do you count appellate results? If so do you count IAOC since its not the prosecutors fault? I can't see how you could measure "conviction rates" in a meaningful way. Plus some cases just need to be dropped, period, from an ethical perspective. Recognizing and dropping those cases is as much a factor in being an effective prosecutor as anything else.

Depending on how your scoring went, I'd consider just getting the logic games bible and dumping the rest of the money on tests. I only bought three books, the LG bible and the two most recent collections of tests. I used those to self study from a 169 diagnostic to a 176 actual, so I don't think you should need much more than those.

Also, the mauve dinosaurs were fun! I don't understand what the issue was!

If you're going to study for three months straight for this thing, take the time to set yourself up for an awesome break afterwards. A big bar trip would be the best way to go, but just taking a bit of a break from anything even tangentially related to the law would be advisable.

So I have a friend who has been accepted into a T6 school and until recently, sought a deferment for a year as they felt she may have wanted to take time off for work and travel. She was granted this deferment and has until Friday to decide to take it or not. Now she's freaking out on whether it's ultimately the right decision to defer or if she should just start school this fall.

Some background tidbits:
She has a stable job for at least this year (more if she wishes)
She had general global travel plans for next year but is second guessing them.
Was set on deferring until a visit to the school brought about some anticipation about starting

Ultimately, she's not 100% sold on pursuing Law and just doesn't know if she wants to start down the path right now. However, she's extremely worried about wasting a year and ultimately not making the most of it.

She's spoken to quite a few people but is having a hard time deciding and the pressure's getting to her. Does anyone have any general word of advice that I could potentially relay to her?

She should take the deferment, spend the year enjoying her life, and deciding if she actually wants to sink the $150k+ into a degree that has a high probability of making her unhappy.

Like, if I could rewind the clock and retake the LSAT to get a better score so I could get into a T6 and then get a deferment, I would spend the year loving around as if I was on an extended summer vacation -- an easy job, low stress, the occasional run, snoozing on the beach... and so on. But now things just don't stop. It never stops.

At worst, taking a year deferment from a T6 is bad only if you want to graduate with a JD in three years instead of four. So, basically, what she would be "wasting" by taking a year deferment is

Is it reasonable to be a 2L and not give a gently caress about proper citations? Presently, I have citations like "Id. at GOD KNOWS" and my citations to a foreign court are basically their numbering system for cases, followed by "available at http://catindia.gov.in/Judgement.aspx"

For what it's worth, the bluebook doesn't have poo poo for the Indian Cyber Appellate Tribunal. So if anyone is well-versed in Indian law, is there a more proper citation? And if you are, how do I best cite to an act that's been amended? The bluebook just gives guidelines for a primary act, but no help for amendments, and this stupid act is useless without the Amendment.

Also, final papers for a class that are pretty much law review fodder suck. But I did manage to gin up 11 more pages tonight, after creating 17 or so on the 1st night I wrote the paper. 31 pages is fine if the requirement is "at least 20 pages," right? Still have to write the syllabus and conclusion, though.
