Is Order of the Coif flame? Forum

Is it on par with Phi Beta Kappa in UG or does no one care about it?

You have it mixed up. No one cares about PBK. Everyone cares about Coif.

It just means top ten percent. I doubt anyone with top ten percent grades ever got a job because of the order of the coif distinction that they wouldn't have gotten if they were at an equivalent non-coif school.

People care about it just like they care about Law Review. It's a signal that you did really well in law school. It's not like you're going to go network with other Coif members or something.

I have seen some very prestigious professors with coif on their resumes.

Must be the coif that made them prestigious. They would be TTTT profs without it.

Whether or not one is admitted to the Order determines their entire future in law

Lol. Yes, UnderrateOverachieve. I can assume with a high degree of certainty that you were either not a philosophy major in UG or were a very poor one (regardless of your GPA).

when this topic comes up a few times a year, the general resolution is that PBK and Coif are of the very few things that generally make a law firm bio, but whether they have independent significance is doubtful.

Coif is helpful, however, at schools without Latin honors. For instance, UVA doesn't give any latin honors, so it might be marginally helpful for a person moving jobs in 5-10 years when the employer will not be scouring a transcript to discover GPA. it just provides a quick reference that the person wasn't at the bottom of the class or whatever. but if your school has latin honors, then its mostly duplicative, probably

Not every post on this forum is an attempt at circle jerking how accomplished we are. Sorry to burst your bubble.

How did this turn into a philosophy circle-jerk? high test scores aside, the intelligence of a person who majors solely in philosophy is remarkably low
