Alumni
Harvard Law School's alumni network is unparalleled in size, scope and impact in the United States and around the globe. Harvard-educated lawyers work in over 135 countries, at the highest level of the judiciary nationally and internationally, in policy-making and in neighborhood clinics and grassroots organizations, in businesses and firms of every size, NGOs, and universities — literally from Albania to Zimbabwe. Among our 37,000 living graduates are jurists on the International Court of Justice, International Criminal Court, International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, and the European Court of Justice, and the Supreme or Constitutional Courts in Canada, the Dominican Republic, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, the Philippines, the Republic of China (Taiwan), Rwanda, South Korea, Spain, Thailand and the United States, among others. The last three general counsels of the World Bank were HLS graduates as is the Secretary General of Amnesty International. Harvard Law alumni include more heads of major law firms and more law school deans, in the U.S. and abroad, than those of any other North American law school, as well as senior governmental officials, diplomats, business leaders, novelists, film-makers, and philanthropists throughout the world. These remarkable lawyers and citizens have transformed the way law is taught, conceived, practiced, and utilized to improve life on every continent.In addition, HLS alumni bring their experience to Harvard through programs such as the Traphagen Distinguished Alumni Speaker Series. Such fora, and HLS' on-line advising network, enable alumni to share their experience and insights with current students.
