"On the occasion of the start of the Fall Term in Cambridge, Massachusetts" 2.September 2006 For the sixth time, I am engaged as part of my third career and under the motto "The Art of Creating a Life while Making a Living" as a Senior Fellow und Visiting Researcher at the Law School and the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The conversion of the house in Susenbergstrasse in Zurich into a kind of Noah's Ark, where my consultancy, academic, teaching and socio-cultural activities are based is now bearing fruit. There are regular meetings of an "Academic Reading Club", an "American Legal Culture Club", a "Political Science Debate Club" and a "General Counsels Club". Leading professors from American Law Schools are regular visitors and there is a plan for such links also to be established by video conference soon. My own company, "Drolshammer, Strategy & Law Advokatur" has become well established. During the whole of the autumn, it can be reached either in Zurich or Cambridge. The combination of "strategy" and "imagination" is beginning to take shape; hence the new claim, "imagination delivered". In Cambridge I have started my work as Visiting Research Professor and Senior Fellow at the Law School and the Kennedy School of Government on long-term projects in the sphere of "Law and Innovation", "The Role of the Corporate Sector in International Governance", "Strategy and Law" and "The Global Lawyer". The main focus of my research is on laying the foundations for a substantial piece of work on the dimensions of the cultural exchange between the USA and Switzerland - a concept and its contours. During the coming visit, I shall mainly be writing for a series of essays under the working title of "Die Internationalisierung der Tätigkeit der Juristen aus euroüäischer Perspektive" ("The Interntationalisastion of the Work of Attorneys from a European Perspective") I regularly teach on the new Masters program in Law and Economics at the University of St.Gallen in areas of "Legal Reasoning" and "American Legal Culture from a European Perspective". In the summer term of 2007 I held a large seminar as Visiting Professor with colleagues from the University of Zurich on the effects of American legal culture and the approach to it taken by heads of legal departments of Swiss multinational companies, by law firms with an international focus, by members court officials, officials at Swiss administrative and regulatory authorities and also by judges in Switzerland. At Harvard Law School I am preparing a new course on "The Canon of American Legal Thought" and attending relevant lectures. I am using my time, to explore in detail the establishment of a business presence. As part of my planned change of emphasis from "duty" to "whim", I have also become involved with the Longy School of Music, at the Memorial Church and the Charles River. The richness, variety, proximity and openness of life in Cambridge call to mind an essential idea: "A homecoming to my better self". "The Salon" "The Musée" "Imagination"
