Did you eat lead paint chips as a child? No there isn't peer grading in law school, or even any undergrad that I've ever heard of. What kind of BS hippie school are you coming from?student wrote:Peer grading is when students in the class grade other students in the class.

Peer grading + forced curve = everyone's a bitch.

Actually I read once that in their lifetime, a college graduate will make $1 million more than someone who does not graduate from college.dpk711 wrote:I also heard that I'll make millions and live in a 6-story mansion if I become a lawyer.student wrote:i heard that there was, i was just checking
I would assume that, on average, law school grads make more than their undergrad only counterparts.
So, making "millions" isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Re: Is there peer grading in law schools?
Law Schools (at least mine) do have forms of peer grading but never students from in the same class. For LRW assignments a writing fellow (usually a 2L or 3L) grades everything except for the final exams (final makes up 80% of the course grade) and Mock trial, Moot Court, and Journals (including the main one) students grade the submissions and choose who makes it.
So there is some forms of peer grading, but the most important grades for classes are always done by professors in my experience.

Is it that they don't tell you what they are until you graduate? I had family that really wanted to go there and I swear that there was something strange about Reed's grading, but I could be wrong.dr123 wrote:sundance95 wrote:Reed? But they have no grades at all.

Re: Is there peer grading in law schools?
Making 7 figures over a lifetime, sure. But you clearly knew that isn't what he was talking about. Making millions yearly, is out of the realm of probability.Bobeo wrote:Actually I read once that in their lifetime, a college graduate will make $1 million more than someone who does not graduate from college.dpk711 wrote:I also heard that I'll make millions and live in a 6-story mansion if I become a lawyer.student wrote:i heard that there was, i was just checking

Nope, but sometimes I think we'd be just as well off if it did work this way....
OTOH, I did have one class where 2Ls were given my work to review and comment on, but it was a pass/fail assignment...

I went to Reed for a while... Definitely not the ideal undergrad to go to if you are interested in law school (unless you are a true f-ing genius). The main distinction that I am aware of about the grading at Reed is that it is very deflated compared with other schools. In my experience, a 3.2 at Reed was as hard or harder to get than 3.6/3.7 at other colleges (I went to 3 undergrads).
OTOH, I think it is kind of cool that Reed really does put an emphasis on learning for the sake of learning. It is a very intellectually stimulating place (though perhaps too much emphasis is put on intellectual pursuits). Reed stopped reporting to US News a number of years ago because they thought the rankings are BS. It screwed them in UG rankings, but their median SAT score was above 1400 last time I checked, so they still attract some of the best students. Also, I think the fact that both Steve Jobs and Christopher Langan (supposedly the worlds highest current IQ, or one of them) attended there is pretty cool.
Maybe eventually some top law schools will stop reporting to US News...
