Podcast Episode 238: Pass/Fail Grading in the Time of COVID-19

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we’re talking about what different law schools are doing about grades in light of the COVID-19 new reality.

In this episode we discuss:

• Adapting to the new (and hopefully temporary) reality created by the coronavirus
• How different law schools plan to implement the pass/fail system
• Are any law schools still opting for traditional grades?
• What consequences can we expect as a result of pass/fail grading?
• Looking for internal motivation in the absence of competition over grades
