Stanford Law Dean Advises Use Of Letter Grades by Undergrads
By JAN NOYCE
Kansas Staff Reporter
Undergraduate students hoping to enter law school after graduation should avoid taking courses under grading systems other than the traditional letter system, William Keough, associate dean of the Stanford Law School, said he attended admissions at Stanford, said he last night.
Keogh, speaking in one of a continuing series of meetings of prospective law students and representatives of law schools from the 17 students attending.
Keigh advised the students not to take courses under pass-fail or other alternative grading systems, because, he said, such systems tell law schools only that the student received a grade somewhere between an "A" and an "F."
KEOGH ALSO SAID that once in a law school, a student should still pass avoid-fail or credit-no credit systems because such notations on transcripts would make it much more difficult for the student to get a job in the legal profession.
Keogh said the Stanford School of Law
"I law schools evaluate a student's undergraduate record the same as the law school test scores," he said. "However, the law schools don't measure an imburation of a student's capabilities."
admission requirements concentrated on undergraduate education rather than on graduate education
HE SAID COMPLETION of a graduate program wouldn't guarantee a student
"It helps the student a little and is not a negative factor, but undergraduate work is valuable."
"We don't have a preference on undergraduate degrees," he said. "We do look at where the undergraduate work was done."
Keough also said that the nature of a student's undergraduate degree wasn't as important to Stanford as where the degree was obtained.
Keogh said that in the past six or seven years, the number of women enrolled in law schools throughout the country that had been approved by St. Stephen's School law school is 20 per cent women he, said.
THE STUDY OF LAW should be an investigation by the student of the reasons why an idea exists and then a challenge of the idea and a decision whether the idea is right. Keough said. He said a legal education he would be considered a philosophical inquiry.
PAMELA K. GRIFFEL, instructor in piano, will present a rctation at 8 p.m., Nov. 28 in Swarthout Rectile Hall as part of the rectal rectal series of the School of Fine Arts.
"We do not look upon a legal education as something that straps you into an office to sue people, defend or to do divorce cases," he said.
