Also, is it stupid to take evidence and ethics and not trial ad for the extra credit?
nah not that stupid if you have no interest in trial. it's a lot of work, plus ITA ethics is a giant pain in the ass.
too bad it's literally the only required class after 1L ;-)

Take ethics as a 2L. An easy curved class as 3L is asKing for a B.

Are diplomas mailed or do you have to pick them up?

I think mailed. I was referring to the designation on Caesar unofficial transcripts.

I just got my degree conferred within the last 20 minutes. I checked when you first posted and it wasn't and now it is.

It doesn't list latin honors, so I doubt it'll list coif.

My degree lists latin honors, but can anyone confirm that coif has been posted to the unofficial transcripts?

Careful, some ITPs apparently manhandle your GPA.

I wonder what median 2-3L grades must be. It's gotta be like 3.75.

Saw the registrar posted the honors stuff.

(1) Summa? Gat damn. Not shocked though.
(2) Coif and magna nearly overlapped. That's an outlier thing right?
(3) A quick eyeball count was about 140 cum laude grads lol.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Ah, thought you meant they posted the coif cutoff, I see what you mean by overlap now though.

Uh, yeah. Usually Magna is around 10-15 students. My class is a bunch of gunners.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
