 Welcome

 

Welcome to the website for the Office of the General Counsel (OGC). The OGC is responsible for all the legal work arising from the activities of Harvard’s Faculties and departments. Our mission is to render timely and thoughtful advice on the broad range of legal issues that the University, its faculty, and administrators confront on behalf of the University.

The purpose of this website is to orient members of the Harvard community to the OGC and the services we provide. We also provide links to other websites containing University policies and offer other information about legal issues affecting Harvard. We always welcome your feedback about the website and ways in which we can better serve the University.
