HLS Dissertations, Theses, and JD Papers
S.j.d. dissertations, ll.m. papers, ll.m. theses, j.d. papers, submitting your paper to an online collection, other sources for student papers beyond harvard, getting help, introduction.
This is a guide to finding Harvard Law School (“HLS”) student-authored works held by the Library and in online collections. This guide covers HLS S.J.D Dissertations, LL.M. papers, J.D. third-year papers, seminar papers, and prize papers.
There have been changes in the HLS degree requirements for written work. The library’s collection practices and catalog descriptions for these works has varied. Please note that there are gaps in the library’s collection and for J.D. papers, few of these works are being collected any longer.
If we have an S.J.D. dissertation or LL.M. thesis, we have two copies. One is kept in the general collection and one in the Red Set, an archival collection of works authored by HLS affiliates. If we have a J.D. paper, we have only one copy, kept in the Red Set. Red Set copies are last resort copies available only by advance appointment in Historical and Special Collections .
Some papers have not been processed by library staff. If HOLLIS indicates a paper is “ordered-received” please use this form to have library processing completed.
The HLS Doctor of Juridical Science (“S.J.D.”) program began in 1910. The library collection of these works is not comprehensive. Exceptions are usually due to scholars’ requests to withhold Library deposit.

- Hein’s Legal Theses and Dissertations Microfiche Mic K556.H45x Drawers 947-949 This microfiche set includes legal theses and dissertations from HLS and other premier law schools. It currently includes about 300 HLS dissertations and theses.
- Hein's Legal Theses and Dissertations Contents List This content list is in order by school only, not by date, subject or author. It references microfiche numbers within the set housed in the Microforms room on the entry level of the library, drawers 947-949. The fiche are a different color for each institution.
- ProQuest Dissertations and Theses @ Harvard University (Harvard login) Copy this search syntax: dg(S.J.D.) You will find about 130 SJD Dissertations dated from 1972 to 2004. They are not available in full text.
- DASH Digital Access to Scholarship at Harvard Sponsored by Harvard University’s Office for Scholarly Communication, DASH is an open repository for research papers by members of the Harvard community. There are currently about 600 HLS student papers included. Unfortunately it is not possible to search by type of paper or degree awarded.
The Master of Laws (“LL.M.”) degree has been awarded since 1923. Originally, the degree required completion of a major research paper, akin to a thesis. Since 1993, most students have the option of writing the LL.M. "short paper." This is a 25-page (or longer) paper advised by a faculty supervisor or completed in conjunction with a seminar. Fewer LL.M. candidates continue to write the more extensive "long-paper." LL.M. candidates holding J.D.s from the U.S. must write the long paper.
- HLS Written Work Requirements for LL.M. Degree The current explanation of the LL.M. written work requirement for the master of laws.
The library generally holds HLS LL.M. long papers and short papers. In recent years, we require author release in order to do so. In HOLLIS, no distinction is made between types of written work created in satisfaction of the LL.M. degree; all are described as LL.M. thesis. Though we describe them as thesis, the law school refers to them solely as papers or in earlier years, essays. HOLLIS records indicate the number of pages, so at the record level, it is possible to distinguish long papers.
- HLS LL.M. Papers in HOLLIS To refine these search results by topic, faculty advisor, seminar or date, click Add a New Line.
HLS LL.M. Papers are sometimes available in DASH and Hein's Legal Dissertations and Theses. See descriptions above .
The HLS J.D. written work requirement has changed over time. The degree formerly required a substantial research paper comparable in scope to a law review article written under faculty supervision, the "third year paper." Since 2008, J.D. students have the option of using two shorter works instead.
Of all those written, the library holds relatively few third-year papers. They were not actively collected but accepted by submission from faculty advisors who deemed a paper worthy of institutional retention. The papers are described in HOLLIS as third year papers, seminar papers, and student papers. Sometimes this distinction was valid, but not always. The faculty deposit tradition more or less ended in 2006, though the possibility of deposit still exists.

Prize Papers
HLS has many endowed prizes for student papers and essays. There are currently 16 different writing prizes. See this complete descriptive list with links to lists of winners from 2009 to present. Note that there is not always a winner each year for each award. Prize winners are announced each year in the commencement pamphlet.
The Library has not specifically collected prize papers over the years but has added copies when possible. The HOLLIS record for the paper will usually indicate its status as a prize paper. The most recent prize paper was added to the collection in 2006.

LLM Thesis: 'Prosecuting Human Trafficking under International Law: Challenges and Responses'
Related Papers
Lindsay Farmer
J. Dylan van Houcke
Slavery is often considered a historic aspect of the Roman Empire or the slave trade to the New World. However, according to official estimates there are currently around 21 million people enslaved in some way or another. Consequently, there are at present more enslaved people than at any other point in history. Many of these people are caught in a web of human trafficking reminiscent of an archaic and uncivilized world from humanities history. Even though, or probably even because, 20th century Neoliberalism promised us unlimited wealth by means of globalization the reality of the present now paints the totally different picture. One of inequality within and among nations in which consumerism has turned even human beings into a tradable good. The first part of this essay will describe what human trafficking is by determining the definition given by international law. In the second part the current international legal and normative framework will be set out and the problems the approach this framework stands for will be analyzed. The third part of this essay will strive to make clear how the effects of globalization are the main roots of human trafficking and thus an effective strategy combating the problem has to take a holistic approach with human rights considerations at its core. Finally, the fourth part of this essay will deal with the question of both the legal and moral responsibility States have in combating the problem of human trafficking. On the whole, the main argument of this essay will be that the current international legal and normative framework does not adequately combat the issue of human trafficking because it marginalizes the human rights aspect. Furthermore, it will argue that States have a legal and moral obligation to create a more holistic framework and combat the violations of a victim of human trafficking human rights, by the denial of that person’s freedom, in a more effective manner.

European Review of Organised Crime (EROC)
There is a good understanding of what happens to victims of human trafficking and modern slavery— " working long hours for little or no money or food, forced into a life of crime or pushed into the sex industry. Their entire life and liberty is in the hands of another, with no say and no way out " (Home Office 2013). While human trafficking and modern slavery are intrinsic problems because of the impact they have on victims, a greater threat emerges from the involvement of organised crime. The profit motives and violence associated with organised crime makes human trafficking and modern slavery more dangerous for victims and difficult to detect and address. The role of organised crime in human trafficking and modern slavery is not adequately understood. There is an insufficient understanding of what form organised criminal involvement takes, how cohesive criminal networks are across the supply chain and which elements they are involved in. An alliance of NGOs identified in 2012 how little we know about this part of human trafficking, and there hasn't been a significant growth in the academic literature since then. This Special Issue works towards filling this evidence gap. Each article engages with a different part of the problem. One article focuses on Nigeria, a key source country for human trafficking into Europe. Another focuses on the illegal kidney trade, a growing source of revenue for organised crime groups. The other articles engage with different strategies to respond to human trafficking, including corporate responsibility, multi-stakeholder partnerships, community prosecution, following financial flows and risk assessments. This is the area that needs the most evidence in order to respond effectively. The recognition of human trafficking and modern slavery as an organised crime problem has increased considerably. The UK's Independent Anti-Slavery

Considering the number of instruments drafted over the last century, it can be safely asserted that human trafficking has been one of the items at the forefront of the international legislative agenda for the past 110 years. Although the formative agreements consistently recognized the criminality of trafficking in persons, it is evident that they failed in explicitly defining “trafficking” as a criminal offense. It was not until the emergence of the Palermo Protocol that an unequivocal definition of “trafficking” made its way into an international trafficking convention. Notwithstanding this regrettable the loophole, the value and import of these initial instruments as criminal justice tools should not be underestimated. Scholars in the field of human trafficking research have broadly documented the chronology of events in a historical context. Yet, scholarship focused on identifying and isolating “human trafficking” as a legal concept by way of contextualizing the substance provided in each of the 20th century conventions from a criminal justice perspective under international law is scarce. Surprisingly, an in depth and legally critical analysis of these formative international legal instruments has escaped academic scrutiny. Utilizing a meticulous textual analysis of these instruments in conjunction with any relevant preparatory works, this paper’s objectives are three fold. Firstly, it will thoroughly examine the primary international trafficking agreements to ascertain whether criminal justice definitions of “trafficking” exist in each of the documents and if the elements of this crime are accurately understood in each treaty. Secondly, it will determine whether the legal construct of human trafficking as an international criminal concern has evolved over time. Indeed, a textual analysis of each treaty in chronological order reveals the existence of a statutory evolution in international law which manifests itself in scope of the offense, confines of criminal liability, and definition of the crime. Thirdly and finally, it is the purpose of this research to document what constituted trafficking as a criminal offense in these various instruments, to which persons the treaties and conventions provided protections, and to whom criminal liability extended. In traversing through a century of international human trafficking legislation, this paper will aim in contributing to unmask human trafficking as the crime of a thousand faces.

This paper is the memorial of the Office of the Prosecutor in the ICC Moot Court Competition 2018. It examines: a) the existence of an inthernational custom, according to which the newly emerged forms of Human Trafficking, meaning those of debt-bondage and forced labor, consist a crime, different from that of slavery, b) whether legal enitities, such as international companies, can be held liable for committing a crime and c) potential factors that could impact the objectivity and integrity of a member of the judiciary. It is important to underline, that the above mentioned issues, constituted firsts for the ICC. The rapid evolution of the crime of Human Trafficking and its transnational character, has alarmed the OTP of the Court. Therefore, it has directed its policy towards the extraction of an internationally binding legal code against this type of human exploitation.
