January Term (J-Term) Program
Established in 2005, our January Term (J-Term) Program gives law students the bonus of specialized mini-courses taught by some of the world’s leading scholars, professors, and judges.
Mr. Frank Boas, a generous supporter of the Law School, helped start the Program and the Law School continues to sponsor a Visiting Harvard professor each J-Term in Frank’s memory. The Wallace S. Fujiyama Distinguished Visiting Professor Fund supports many of our other J-Term professors.
