if you graduated magna or with honors?
I took a couple of 'easy' classes (not unreasonable and not total bullshit)
and I took 2 important classes pass/fail
you know, law firms typically ask to see your transcript...
I was told that they do so mainly to confirm that a candidate graduated. But the fact that you passed the bar/bar memberships should be sufficient indicators that I graduated.

a little.
if you target capital market groups, you are expected to have taken securities regulation.
But you don't really need to know much as a first-year.....

Re: do law firms care about classes you took
Considering that you haven't taken anything that isn't the standard 1L curriculum by the time OCI comes, I'd imagine not much. In one interview, I got the question "what are you taking this semester?" I am not sure if this means anything or not.

Re: do law firms care about classes you took
There are groups that care and groups that don't. Employment, environmental, M&A all have some core classes that you'll need to have if you're entering one of those groups.
But it's meaningless for OCI purposes IMO.

Re: do law firms care about classes you took
Aside from having a bunch of "Law & ___" classes on your transcript as a 2L, you should be fine. At our school we have to register for the entire year and the courses we pick show up on the transcript we give at EIW.
