his afternoon the Law School is holding the “HLS Thinks Big” program. Faculty members will be sharing some of their “big ideas” on “aariety of topics.” They plan to offer “courageous” and “inspiring” ideas. In case you haven’t noticed it, here’s the poster advertising thvent, which appears on bulletin boards throughout the Law School:

oon you may notice some other posters throughout the Law School.

ow about this big idea? When Attorney General Eric Holder arrives here on Wednesday afternoon to be honored as the Class Day speaossibly members of the Law School community should use this high-profile event to urge Holder to stop obstructing the investigation byouse of Representatives into the Department’s “Fast and Furious” operation — its program which not just allowed, but actually assistedexican drug cartels in buying thousands of high-powered weapons in Arizona, which were then used to murder U.S. Border Patrol Agenian Terry and hundreds of Mexican citizens. The best general introduction to date concerning the evidence of Holder’s wrongdoing ise New York Times best-selling book by Katie Pavlich, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama’s Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

While attending a class reunion in 2007, Attorney General Alberto Gonzas the subject of intense organized efforts by students to embarrass him during the taking of his class’s photo (pictures of the protestere). Afterwards, the protesters followed Gonzalez into the library, shouting “shame!” and “resign!” . Twenty of them stalked Gonzalez

e way up to the fourth floor of the library.

f course, those “courageous” faculty members who specialize in coming up with “big ideas” might come up with distinctions between Hnd Gonzalez which might just possibly give Holder a pass when he visits the campus.

or one thing, Holder is a liberal Democrat with political views that most on campus agree with, whereas heckled and harassed Gonzalezconservative Republican. As one student observed back in 2007: “It is pretty mainstream politics on the campus to oppose Albertoonzales.”

so, Holder is a member of the African-American community, a highly favored group on campus, whereas heckled and harassed Gonzaleas not. Students might reasonably fear being called racists if they were to heckle and harass Holder.

so, Holder merely oversaw an operation which helped Mexican drug cartels buy thousands of high-powered weapons, which were thenmurder a federal law enforcement agent and hundreds of Mexican citizens — then, once the scheme became public, he pretended he’d

nly recently heard about it. Heckled and harassed Gonzalez was guilty, by contrast, of truly serious offenses: he authorized the enhanterrogation of terrorists who had murdered U.S. citizens, and he fired some attorneys who were political appointees serving at his pleas

aybe Holder’s politics, ethnicity, and comparatively minor offenses justify students not dressing up in costumes, stalking Holder, and yelhim, “shame!” and “resign!”. But perhaps both students and faculty members ought to use this occasion to express at least some con

bout Holder having been honored with an invitation to the campus despite the ethical cloud under which he is operating regarding hisandling of “Fast and Furious.”

hy not protest in some fashion the corruption inherent in Harvard Law School permitting Holder to participate in official commencemenctivities at this juncture, thereby lending implicit support to Holder in his defense against the serious charges pending against him?

hether you do it by speaking to Holder about “Fast and Furious,” or merely by turning your back or hissing (as conservatives are hissedom time to time here), or even booing, when Holder speaks, this is your opportunity to say that one “big idea” that should be pursued arvard Law School is the idea of speaking truth to power, not just conservatives in power, but liberals in power.

onsider adding your support to the growing, and now bipartisan, movement in the House to have Holder held in contempt for hisbstruction of the investigation into “Fast and Furious.”

o help publicize the double standard, and issues concerning the corruption of institutional integrity, presented by Attorney General Ericolder being invited at this juncture to participate in commencement activities, today marks the launch of our third poster campaignollowing up on the “Firmly Refuse” campaign and the “Dis-honoring of Edward S.

Well you can forget it.Thanks to former Dean Elena Kagan, who renamed it after a cowardly tax cheat.

The Harkness Commons was dedicated in 1950 in honor of Edward S. Harkness.

n 1929 Harkness gave Harvard $174 million in today’s dollars ($13 million then) to build its massive undergraduate Hosystem. A Yale alumnus, he also donated massive sums for Yale’s House system and for other projects.

Modest to a fault, Harkness insisted that nothing at Harvard be named after him. After his death, Harvard convinced widow to allow the dedication of Harkness Commons so there would be a lasting monument to his philanthropic spir

But Dean Elena Kagan agreed to rename the building the “Caspersen Student Center,” in honor of Finn M.W. Caspersena donation of a measly $30 million (less than a fifth of the Harkness donation, in real dollars).

Caspersen was an undistinguished executive who inherited a successful company from his daddy.

He was respected mainly for his knowledge of horses and French wines. In exchange for millions in earlier donationCaspersen had gotten all four of his even less impressive sons (Finn Jr., Erik, Samuel, and Andrew) admitted to the La

Sorry, students and alumni, that’s life in the Legal-Capital Complex.Harvard Law used to have a monument to a modest philanthropist.

ere’s the text of the first poster, a “teaser” poster designed to draw people’s attention to the campaign, so they’ll want to read the fulloster, either on the bulletin board or on this blog:

Sorry, Harvard Law students and alumni!

On April 20 you’ll see Justice Kagan dedicate a monument to Finn Caspersen, a schmuck who cheated the IRS out of $100 million,gave $30 million of it to Harvard Law, then blew his brains out as IRS agents closed in.

The corrupt donor is in the ground.

The corrupt fundraiser is on the Supreme Court.

Kelley Drye poster


oday we also put up our poster on the Kelley Drye law firm. Here’s a text copy:

KELLEY DRYE

Kelley Drye used forum non conveniens to shield a chemical manufacturer after one of the worst industrial massacres in history – a poisonous gas leak that killed over 10,000 people and permanently injured over 100,000. Kelley Drye forced the Indian Government to settled for $2,058 per death. How convenient.

See In re Union Carbine Corp. Gas Plant Disaster at Bhopal, India in Dec., 1984, 809 F.2d 195 (2d Cir. 1987).

Can we talk about who firms actually defend?

Firmly refuse. An Unbound Campaign.

ravath poster

hursday, April 12, 2012, 1:00:11 PM | Harvard Law Unbound

oday we put up our poster on the Cravath law firm. The firm and its partners have for decades played a major role in the Law School’sndraising projects, posing a possible issue of corruption or conflict of interest, as we’ve discussed on our About page. Here’s a text co

CRAVATH

What part of subjecting black South African employees to intimidation, detention, and torture is not acting in furtherance of Apartheid? How about creating a computer database just to deprive black South Africans of citizenship and restrict their freedom of movement? Cravath – defending Chrysler, IBM, and other Apartheid supporters since, uh, 2004.

oday we put up our poster on the Mayer Brown law firm. Like Kirkland & Ellis, this firm has been a major donor to the Law School, posossible issue of corruption or conflict of interest, as we’ve discussed on our About page. Here’s a text copy:

MAYER BROWN ROWE & MAWE

Remember contracts? Well you can forget it. Thanks to Mayer Brown’s take on the Federal Arbitration Act, it will be up to large corporations – not the courts – to decide which civil and economic rights consumers and employees are allowed to have. Sorry defrauded consumers – no class actions for you.

QUINN EMANUEL

Quinn Emanuel argued that corporations should face no civil liability for human rights violations – even after Shell gave Nigerian authorities the logistical and financial support to detain, torture, and murder nine Nigerian activists who protested Shell’s environmental devastation of the Niger Delta. But thanks for the flip flops.

Gibson Dunn tried to exempt Chevron from $18 billion in damages after they produced the largest oil-related environmental catastrophe in history – 18 billion gallons of industrial waste dumped into the Amazon rainforest, a toxic area the size of Rhode

Island, and widespread cancer outbreaks. Talk about Chevron deference.
