GREEN’S GRANT — Members of the Mt. Washington Commission had a chance at its meeting last Friday to see Harvard Law School third-year student Erin Savoie in action.
Two other law school students — Seorae Ko and Lowry Yankwich — who work with Erin on a three-member team from the Harvard Negotiation & Mediation Clinical Program were not present, but the project supervisor, Clinical Law Professor Rachel Viscomi, was on hand.
