Our LW class is on a point system--1000 points total for the semester, but no official recorded grade until the end of spring semester.  The prof will give us a "shadow" grade at the end of fall semester.  We had a 30 point quiz lasts week and just turned in a draft of our first legal memo.  She'll give us feedback on it (no points), then the final product is due in two weeks--100 points.  We've briefed six cases (two together as a class effort) and turned one in for a P/F--we all passed.

I think I'd rather have grades--points sound like I'm accruing something for using my credit card.   

Economics.

I will be 60 tomorrow and just finished 1L, 2nd in my class.  It was the best decision I ever made.  I am much more focused and disciplined than I was when I was 20.  I plan to practice Elder Law, which will be appropriate considering my age!!

Kudos to you!     I'll be 46 when I start LS this fall.  I, too, expect to be much more focused and disciplined than when I was in college.  After almost twenty years in the fire service, I'm looking forward to this second career, and will probably practice labor/employment law or health care law, since that's where most of my real-world experience lies.

I, too, use the "My greatest weakness is that I'm a bit of a perfectionist" bit. Works everytime. Employers LOVE hearing that one.

I'm an old-fart non-trad...I learned that trick a long time ago.  

When I interviewed for my current position twenty years ago, I had to remind myself that the goal was to get the job, not piss-off the interviewer.  The fire chief, an uneducated, boorish, sexist, egotistical boob, asked me these obviously illegal questions (illegal even back then):  Are you married?  Planning on getting married?  Are you gonna have children and quit?  My god, I was HOT.  But I wanted the job so I politely answered "no," "no," and "no" to assuage his fears of hiring a "girl" to do a "man's" job.     But I really wanted to grab him by his collar brass and lay him out to whaleshit.  

I am really looking forward to leaving the fire service and starting law school this fall...  

What is the GPA requirements for avoiding probation etc.
Anyone ?

I believe a 2.0 is required to avoid probation.  I've heard CSU has a B- curve.  I have to keep a 3.1 to maintain my scholarship.
