Yale Law School's Top Vegetarian Chef
I wrote a few years ago in my post, The $42,000 All-You-Can-Eat Buffet , about the abundance of free food at the Law School. Three years later everything I mentioned in the post, except the price, still holds true. To help illustrate the importance of...
Wintertime in New Haven
January at the Law School is guaranteed to bring three things: quiet , applications, and snow . In fact, it's snowing as I write this post. I enjoy winter, but I realize it's not everyone's favorite time of year. For those of you uneasy about...

Acronym Overload: ISP, A2K, and A2K4
In my blog posts I frequently make passing references to the numerous centers and programs at YLS. There are over twenty centers, programs, and workshops that focus on a wide range of subjects, from legal reform in China and legal topics in South America...
The Quiet After the Storm
I hope 2010 is off to a good start for all of our readers. We've been busy reading your applications and admitting some of you (contrary to some rumors, we do, in fact, admit applicants). January is traditionally a great time to get a lot of work...
Accelerated Integrated JD-MBA
The Law School and Yale's School of Management (SOM) unveiled a pilot three-year joint degree program last spring for students interested in an integrated law and business curriculum. At the end of the three year Accelerate Integrated JD-MBA program...

"This American Life"
One of the perks of attending law school at one of the world's premier universities is being able to take advantage of the academic, cultural, and social resources of Yale's other schools and departments. From taking classes in other departments...
Sold!
The Law School recently played host to one of its more unique community events when The Initiative for Public Interest Law at Yale held its annual public interest auction . The public interest auction is one of several fundraisers conducted during the...

Supporting Public Interest
Two weeks ago we were pleased to welcome back one of our graduates, Sheila Hayre '02, as the Law School's new Public Interest Advisor. In her new position, Sheila will focus on assisting YLS students and alumni in applying for public interest...
Clinical Opportunities
Happy 2009! We here at 203 enjoyed our long winter break and now we're back reading files, admitting students, and writing blog posts. I'm going to start the year by addressing a subject about which I receive a lot of questions when I'm out...
