For this admitted students' edition of the RECORD, I thought my epicurean column would be best served not in critique of local eateries, but in review of my alma mater. In welcoming the admittees to campus, I want share some views about HLS-candid and representative of no other opinions but my own-as well as introduce the newcomers to some of the struggles HLS students experience in the hope that the new 1Ls will adopt the challenge to improve the education at HLS.
