Grades can be irrelevant.
15 June 2010
At Legal Writing Prof Blog, on-line pal and scholarship dude James Levy suggests a correlation between a law student’s grade in legal research & writing and overall law-school success. In response, I offer two personal facts:
- My grade in legal research & writing was C+.
- At graduation, I ranked 5th in my class of just under 200. That C+ tied for the lowest grade I received in any law-school course.
