How important are specialized Professional Responsibility classes to public interest employers?
i.e. Will PI employers care if I take a generic PR class over "PR in the Criminal Law" or "PR in Public Interest Practice"? I can take one of the latter two, but the time slots for both are awful. Just wondering if the marginal benefits might be worth it.

Of all the things that don't matter, this might not matter the most

OP here
Thank you. That's what I thought. I've just heard several hiring directors say they look closely at course selection and wondered if maybe PR courses were some secret litmus test.
