Didn't really mean you. I am concerned some of ya'll might underestimate how many of your peers lurk here... And, if they are, this thread's title is gonna draw their attention.

Since I haven't seen this entirely cleared up elsewhere, is CLR curved or not?

Graded, yes. Curved, no.

Good enough. Though telling my friends at Penn and Michigan this and having them go "wait yours isn't pass/fail!?!?" is disconcerting enough

What's yours? Ours is 1400. I was at 1750 last night, then axed a case I decided was useless analysis, and am now sitting at 1471.

Umm, just for clarification: CLR isn't technically curved, but all of the CLR profs still follow the curve or grade below it.

Ours is pages, not words. It can only be six pages double-spaced, and I'm at 2.75 single spaced, and I'm just finishing up the last element. Sooo yeah.

1400? Ours is 2000. We had a 1200 limit for the ungraded one. I don't think I could get this done in 1400.

Well what is covered in your memo? Ours is a statement of facts, a thesis paragraph, and 2 out of 4 elements.

Our next memo will be a rewrite that includes the other 2 elements,questions presented, and conclusion.

Ours is just the discussion section, so a thesis paragraph, the 2 elements in question, and a conclusion. Memo 2 adds question presented, fact section, and applicable statute along with a more in depth conclusion.

So a comparable amount of stuff but 600 words more? Jealous.
