Consider nominating yourself or someone you know to give or coach a Talk \u2014every perspective is welcome and encouraged. Most past participants did not have a background in public speaking, so do not hesitate to try something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on HLS Talks, please reach out to us at\u00a0studentgov@mail.law.harvard.edu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent HLS Talks, held in Spring 2026, welcomed over 50 guests for an intimate evening centered on <em>Deeper Than Doctrine<\/em>. This theme looks beyond black-letter law to examine the values, identities, and tensions that shape how law is truly lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>HLS Talks will next be held in <strong><mark
