In February, Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) unanimously approved an Open Access resolution, committing to make all its research available through a public repository. It was the first US college to do so.

Yesterday, Harvard Law School unanimously voted to become the first US law school with the same commitment.

Over a scant few years, Harvard Law pulled together Larry Lessig and Jonathan Zittrain, and recently recruited both Yochai Benkler and Cass Sunstein. These are, along with folks like John Palfrey, the finest legal thinkers of their generation. I am incredibly hopeful about the kind of cyberlaw activism and trendsetting we’ll see with these minds all sharing an affiliation.
