From a regular correspondent and Harvard Law School grad:
As a recent HLS grad (and, more to the point, sensible human being), I have to agree with Bainbridge’s suggestion that HLS Unbound may actually unseat the American Constitution Society as “the least necessary organization in the law school world.” But looking at the first issue’s offerings, I must note that HLS Unbound could actually fill a useful role as the world’s most unintentionally hilarious legal publication.
Never mind Christine Desan’s moon-unit investigation of the issue, “Out of the Past: Time and Movement in Making the Present.” I highlight instead Kristina Brittenheim’s unconscionably funny “In Pursuit of the Gold Star: Diary of a Law Student”. It surely is a parody article submitted to HLS Unbound by the editors of the Onion (or, more likely, the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy). Wrap your mind around this gem:Ultimately, I propose that it is irrelevant whether the stories I tell here are “true,” as in fair or “factually” accurate. I see them through my own set of values and my social location as a white, heterosexual woman. I put the spin of my own brain and heart on them. I admit that right now.
