Aside from the LWR info, everything else was pulled from the ABA school reports which are self reporting by each school.

Good to see an updated thread.

Chicago has 1 quarter ungraded, and 2 quarters graded LRW.

Thanks for the update HorseThief. Does anyone know what is up with the part-time students at Columbia? I'm guessing that is available only under exceptional circumstances.

Updated. Thanks for the LRW info.


Re: Part-Time at Columbia, they didn't admit anyone pt, so I'd assume it's either an unusual dual degree person or a personal issue.


Also, I have all of this data for the T35 schools. Would it be helpful for me to rank them as well, or would it just be too much at that point?

Where did you find Georgetown's minority enrollment at 43.5%? This doesn't sound right for what I've seen on LSAC and their admissions fact sheet.

I would be interested in the LRW information for more schools, no strong feelings on the rest of the categories.

Berkeley LRW is ungraded (really credit/no credit, but everyone gets credit) first semester, High Honors/Honors/Pass second semester.

I have to say though, I really think the LRW grading thing is blown out of proportion on here. At Berkeley, LRW ends like a month before all other classes both in the fall and the spring. I can't see LRW having any significant impact on other grades. But maybe that's just me.

That was my mistake. 43.5% is their 'white' enrollment (which is just below the 'total minority' number. Their minority is actually the lowest at 15.6%. Sorry about the error, and thanks for the catch.

Chicago is incorrect in the OP; it's two graded and one ungraded.

This isn't correct. Duke has 6 sections. Out of a class of 208, that would allocate an average of ~35 students per section.

Could we maybe include 2014 COA too?

Harvard 81,900
Duke 75,103
UVA either hasn't updated yet or is the same

Stanford LRW is graded same way as the doctrinal courses: h/p, with slim-to-nil possibility of "restricted credit" if you do something outrageously lazy or disrespectful

I think it's somewhat irresponsible to label an LRW "graded" if it doesn't factor into GPA/honors at the school. For example, at CLS we consider our LPW (legal writing equivalent) to be "ungraded" since it's not included in calculation of GPA/class honors (even though we don't release an official class rank) and it is therefore distinct from the "Graded" curriculum on an A/A-/B+/B scale.

Other schools with "High Pass/Pass/Fail" structures may still be "graded" in the sense that the class has non-zero weight on class rank/some impact on latin honors - those would be more appropriate metrics for incoming 0L's.

tl;dr, UVA, CLS, ect (and possibly other schools with letter grades in common law curriculum) do not have Graded LRW.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
