Collaboration in teaching and learning
Harvard Law School offers students a curriculum of unparalleled breadth: more than 400 courses, seminars, and reading groups that together reflect the remarkable range of the faculty’s expertise and interests. More than half of these courses have fewer than 25 students enrolled, including more than 75 seminars in which small groups of students work closely with faculty. Teaching and mentoring take place side by side, as faculty and students learn together and collaborate on projects that will change their communities and the world.
