Harvard Law Makes Faculty Articles Free

According to a recent report from New York Lawyer, Harvard Law School's faculty unanimously voted to make all faculty member-authored scholarly articles available on the Internet free of charge. The law school said the articles would be available in an online repository, which could also be accessed by outside services like Google Scholar. The policy would also allow faculty to post the articles on their own Web sites. Educators at any institution are also free to give the articles to students as long as they're not used for profit.
