That's actually really cool. Irregardless of my previous advice, I would go to the ceremony for that.

3L here. Never heard of this at SMU and given their lack of negotiating scholarships before law school, I strongly doubt it's a possibilitymajnana wrote:Do any graduates have the lowdown on SMU's policy (if one) on 2L/3L scholarships? I have heard anecdotes of law schools giving full rides or at least increased scholarship money to 2L's and 3L's who are ranked -insert top 10%, top 5%, or top of the class here - and other schools that do not automatically give "retention" scholarships, but will sometimes increase scholarships in order to prevent top students from transferring out.
It would be a spiffy extra-incentive to get great grades (not that anyone needs more motivation than a terrible job market, anyway). I didn't find anything on SMU's website in the scholarship section about 2L/3L schollys given out specifically for grades or class rank. It seems to mostly mention writing competitions.
I just wondered if anyone knew of this practice happening at SMU since it apparently happens at other schools.
