Transfer LoRs

Post by clshopeful » Fri Jan 29, 2016 3:19 pm

Are professors usually required to tell the law school administration they've been asked to write a letter for a student looking to transfer?

I have this idea in my head that they do, and that the school would intentionally mark my spring grades down so that I can't transfer.. Crazy, but I keep thinking about it.

Anyway, are professors required to tell that they've been asked?

That is really paranoid. No, the school isn't going to mark down your grades so you can't transfer. They don't care enough to commit fraud.

But no, I can't see profs being required to tell anyone they're writing a letter for someone who wants to transfer.

Yiour paranoia is justified. I asked a couple profs for LoRs 2 weeks ago... last week, i get an email from the dean saying how he wants me to go to lunch with some partners at local biglaw firms...

Told the profs i want to transfer b/c i want biglaw..

then get email about meeting biglaw partners..
