Professor of Law Charles Fried traded the bench for the lectern this summer, giving up a seat on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to return the Harvard Law School's faculty.
But though the office is the same, the post is slightly different. In his new position, Fried can teach a wider range of subjects.
Still, Fried's previous course offerings covered a wide area, including appellate advocacy, labor law, legal philosophy and medical ethics. Fried said with his new professorship, he'll likely stick to his strengths.
Fried said he decided to return to full-time teaching to "make more of a contribution" to education. But he said his twin professions of professor and judge suited him well.
The Law School's gain is the Supreme Judicial Court's loss, and Massachusetts Governor A. Paul Cellucci is in the process of selecting nominees to fill the slots vacated by Fried and fellow justice Herbert Wilkins. Of the 15 nominees, four are Harvard Law School graduates.
