Out With the Old?

HLS faculty unanimously approved sweeping changes to the first-year curriculum in a closed-door meeting yesterday afternoon.
... the century-old first-year curriculum covering traditional common law topics‚contracts, torts, property, civil procedure, and criminal law‚will be constricted, and courses on policy (“Legislation and Regulation”) and international law (“International Law and Problems and Theories”) will be added.

Full article in The Crimson.

I know students have been grumbling about this for a long time, but I never really expected anything to change, and especially not suddenly or unanimously.

Cool.

I wonder if I am the only person that doesn't really like this. I'm glad that we had the "traditional" first-year curriculum.

Harvard just wants to be more like Chicago. That's the entire explanation. ;)
