<p>If I’m not mistaken, Harvard based their decision based on reported interest from the 1L class. That was a bad move, I think.</p>
<p>Many students enter law school wanting to save the world, especially though public interest. Others who entered with the intent of doing biglaw are trying to cover their bases by indicating intent, should they strike out during 2010 OCI. </p>
<p>The flaw, though, is that many students who enter law school to save the world through public interest just end up doing biglaw. And not that many HLS students will strike out during 2010 OCI, so I think the actual number of students who decide to take advantage of HLS’s PI initiatives when the time comes will be a lot lower than HLS’s official estimates.</p>
<p>Shame.</p>
