Harvard Law School has changed its grading system once again, but this time it almost went unnoticed. Students only found out about the new grading scale if they happened to read the student handbook, until it was reported in the Harvard Law Record.
Students will now receive a point value for each grading distinction, somewhat resembling a traditional GPA scale. These GPAs will be submitted to employers, but students will not have access to them. Plus, HLS will no longer publicize the grading curve. While the law school intends to take pressure off students and shift the focus away from grades, these secretive changes seem to be causing quite an uproar, especially during interview season.
