The Harvard Undergraduate Legal Committee (HULC) is a student organization at Harvard College. HULC is an affiliate organization of the Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA), Harvard's umbrella public service organization, and was once known as the Phillips Brooks House Legal Committee. HULC is targeted at students interested in public interest law, and using the American legal system as a tool for social justice.
Mission
According to the organization's website:
The Harvard Undergraduate Legal Committee aims to link students with public interest law organizations so as to help students gain a deeper understanding of and appreciation for public service law careers, while also contributing to the daily tasks of greater Boston public service law firms.
Our primary goals are the following:
* To place undergraduate volunteers in local public service law and advocacy organizations.
* To serve the local community by placing undergraduate volunteers in local public service law and advocacy organizations.
* To provide undergraduates with an opportunity to experience public interest law first-hand by exposing them to community needs and allowing them to witness how law can be used to address these needs.
* To use the law as a tool of social justice and empowerment for those who need it the most.
* To develop close mentor relationships between the volunteers and their supervising attorneys.
History
HULC dates from the 1970's as an organization for students interested in approaching social justice issues from a legal perspective. It was created in the summer of 1974 by the Phillips Brooks House Executive Committee and originally had relationships with "five legal services and law reform organizations which offered PBH students the opportunity to use their research and analytical skills." The program allowed students to "work with lawyers on individual cases prepare research and informational material for watchdog groups such as the Massachusetts Advocacy Center."
The Massachusetts Small Claim Advisory Service originated as a subcommittee of the Legal Committee.
HULC has a history of civic judicial oversight. In the 1970's, HULC organized a program for evaluating whether eviction proceedings were being carried out in accordance with recent housing law reforms. In the 1980's, HULC was involved with ensuring that Massachusetts courts complied with laws requiring interpreters for non-English speakers in legal proceedings.
Programs
HULC's central program facilitates internships with local public interest law organizations. The program involves both semester-long and summer placements, with organizations working on issues such as immigration, housing law, child welfare, and civil rights. . Current participating organizations include the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, the American Friends Service Committee, and Greater Boston Legal Services.
The organization also arranges a semester-long Public Interest speakers series and various other outreach events to the broader Harvard community.

NetMovers is a commission free internet estate agent. The business model of the company marks a shift in internet estate agency as was the first commercial website to operate by representing web users and not estate agents. The company launched in May 2003 and belongs under the umbrella company Reach Global. Web users can upload properties for a fixed charge and NetMovers take no commission from the sale of the property. NetMovers offer a variety of properties to its users, including residential, commercial, overseas and park homes.
Objectives
The aim of the project from its inception in 2003 was to be one of the first commercial website on a large scale to utilise the internet and change the way property is bought and sold. This change was to be made by providing an alternative to the high commission fees charged by traditional high street estate agents. Due to online advertising NetMovers has been able to shift the focus of payment away from the seller. In offering the client a one off payment, internet estate agency is establishing itself as an alternative within the property market. The project is built upon the attitudes of the new ‘internet generation’ that demand instant action and results and find internet estate agency a more convenient option to the ‘paper’ based high street version.
Operations
A central feature of NetMovers website is seller confidentiality; all seller details are kept hidden when viewing property details. NetMovers works with other internet portals to help ensure maximum exposure of the properties listed on the site.
The website features property related adverts located on the right hand side of search results. Search results are then ordered based on the proximity to the searched location. Access is free to web users, who can upload a property for a fixed charge or alternatively request further information and arrange viewings for no charge.
Developments
The fourth version of the website, launched in 2007, aimed to offer an ‘easy to use’ simplicity through the updates of features such as interactive maps and buyers guides. Developed versions of the site have attempted to improve this usability.
NetMovers was developed by Biproduct, a UK based Internet Development Company based at the Reach Global headquarters, in Church, Lancashire. NetMovers also have an office based in London which specialises in the London property market.
Responses
In 2009 the Financial Times wrote about the successes of the company and credited it as ‘thinking outside the box’.
In 2009 The Guardian discussed NetMovers efforts to help climate change by offering a setting to view property based on energy efficiency.
