Harvard Law School

Harvard Law School is one of the professional graduate schools of Harvard University. It is a highly prestigious and respected American law school with about 2,000 students in Cambridge, Massachusetts. According to unofficial newspaper rankings (U.S. News and World Report 2005), HLS is ranked second in the country, behind Yale Law School. The school was established in 1817 and has operated continuously since then.
