Life Beyond the Law

A Historical & Special Collections exhibit exploring student life outside the Harvard Law School classroom.

Introduction

Over the years, during warm weather and cold, students have gotten together for pick-up games on and around the Law School campus. These images help to illustrate a part of the student experience beyond academia. Whether it’s a game of football on Jarvis field or volleyball in front of Austin Hall, students are getting out and moving.
