Poetry is about people who have fallen from scaffolds when working, who do not have money to pay their mortgage or who cannot find a job. The founders wrote and fought for women's suffrage, women's estate rights, children's rights, education, and international understanding. For example, Dean Mussey was counsel to Sweden and Norway and the personal counsel and confidante of Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross. That link with reality can be seen in the corridors of the law school itself. The testimonies of our founders show also a humane and personalized approach to students at the law school.
Schools structure their own environment around the vision they have for society at large.
Our Women in the Law program asks important questions about the role of women in society. Our Clinics make a contribution to society by defending the disadvantaged while, at the same time, educating students. Our international program attracts over 150 lawyers from all over the world and prepares them for work in business, human rights, environmental law and international organizations. Our scholarship continues to defy barriers and sets out to break down man-made distinctions. We are not here to celebrate a past that is stagnant.
