Picture This.

C
hecking in from Cambridge ("Our Fair City"), MA, where I've just attended a fantastic two-day criminal procedure conference at Harvard Law School. This was the first time I've ever been here (at Harvard Law, that is).

The conference was held in Pound Hall, one of the approximately 750 buildings that make up the Harvard Law School campus. Having strolled the hallways and examined what's hanging on the walls, I can say with confidence that Harvard Law School's budget for faculty photographs is larger than UNC's budget for faculty salaries.

Very astute. The Ivy Leagues are marked by a total dedication to the perception of academic excellence...

Do faculty photographs from 1975 count?

[ELM: Yes. Absolutely.]

750 buildings?? Surely, you jest.

Perhaps if you have a moment, you could deface the picture of Christopher Columbus Langdell. You see, I've been to law school.

And yet so many of the photos are so awkwardly posed. My personal favorite is the Liz Warren "I caught a fish THIS BIG" gesture.

Still sticking to your statement about 750 HLS buildings? May I remind you that you are under oath...

I present as prima fascia evidence, THIS (gasp!)
map of the Harvard Law School campus.

Do you still stick to your ridiculous testimony, counselor?

Move for summary judgment!
