Harvard Law School (HLS) suffers from "Harvard Hubris"--trying to be the best, the hardest and, for some unknown reasons, the largest elite law school in the country. The McKinsey & Co. study has shown that HLS is simply trying to do too much--and has made no one happy in the process. The staff suggests further expenses and an expanded faculty. A simpler, quicker, cheaper alternative exists, however, and it is even spoken of in law school circles elsewhere: Cut the class size.
While the staff may gripe about their own dreams to continue their studies at HLS, a smaller and more responsive law school will ultimately do Harvard proud--students and faculty alike.
