Harlan Scholars at the Institute form an intellectual family of faculty and students who work together to study information, communication and the law. Harlan Scholars and faculty meet regularly throughout the year to develop programs, plan events and share in the exploration of intellectual issues of common interest.
In consultation with a faculty mentor, honors students who choose to affiliate with the Institute take a common set of core courses plus electives tailored to their professional and scholarly goals. The curriculum affords students maximum flexibility to develop substantive competence and discrete skill sets in the areas of their chosen academic concentration.
Honor students in the Law School’s Harlan Scholars Program affiliated with the Institute are required to produce, and defend before their peers, a project that takes on novel issues of analysis or design. Topics are developed in collaboration with the faculty—with an emphasis on one-on-one consultation between student and faculty as the project develops. During the third year “capstone” phase of the
program, Institute students critique each other’s work, develop strategies to publish their results to a broad audience, and learn about new technologies that can change law practice and social, economic, and civic organizations.
