Free Tuition for Government Lawyers
Harvard Law School is putting its money where its mouth is in promoting public service. The school, the New York Times reports, is offering third-year law students free tuition if they agree to spend five years working for a government agency or nonprofit organization. Right now, around 90 percent of Harvard Law grads choose to join law firms, where they can earn upwards of $100,000 right away.
