Why Haiku and not other types of poetry?
Former Dean Steve Willborn encouraged the creation of haiku during his tenure as Dean. To build on that tradition we're inviting YOU to tap into your creative side and submit a haiku. Submitted haiku will be posted to a webpage (here are 2020's haiku) for the law school community to read and vote for a favorite. The haiku with the most votes will win Friday's basket. Need more inspiration? Check out the New York City in 17 Syllables from the New York Times and get those creative juices flowing!
