Re: How Is Penn Law's Grading Curve?

To those who are recent graduates of, or currently students of, Penn Law: What is the grading curve like? I always hear that some of the upper law schools such as Yale do not have grades or rank...does this hold true with Penn? Also, does Penn give out A's. If they do, are they graded on a curve in which only a certain amount of students can obtain it?
I don't go to Penn but have friends there. As far as I know, they have a pretty standard grading system (A, A-, B+, B, B-) curved to a ~3.3 median. So yeah, they give out A's and only a fixed amount of students can obtain certain grades.

Yale, Harvard, Stanford, and Berkeley each do some variant of Honors/Pass/Fail (or Dean's Scholar, Honors, Pass, Low Pass, Fail). The rest of the T14, with the exception of Chicago, uses traditional grades.
