Stanford to Switch to Pass/Fail Grades
By Stony Olsen

  Ah, a pass fail grading system.  In law school, it's seldom used, since you can't have a "top of the class>" honor.  But Yale Law School has used it for many years; primarily because they can: every student at Yale will get a job.  Now, Stanford Law School is set to join Yale in offering only pass/fail grades. However, don't jump for joy too soon: the change is not finalized, and the details of when this will happen aren't done yet.  So, class of 2008-09, don't get your hopes...

"In high school I volunteered at a hospital and didn't like it at all," she recalls. "Then in high school I joined Mock Trial, and we visited law firms and courthouses, and that was what helped me decide on this career path."

University of Pennsylvania Law School, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
By Akbar Ali

Tracing its origins back to the beginning of American national law, the University of Pennsylvania Law School is one of the nation's most historic and prestigious legal education institutions, emphasizing its long history of cross-disciplinary education and cultural diversity. Established in 1790, the school offers one of the most comprehensive collections of law degrees available at any American law university. This top-tier law school also prides itself on something not often acknowledged by competitive law schools: its environment of congeniality, which in the ''City of Brotherly Love'' is fitting.
