...made extremely conservative and meticulous decisions to stay true to the original intentions of Michelangelo’s ceilinged masterpieces. The 1994 revision of Fair Harvard, however, completely departed from Gilman’s original meaning.

Since Yale Law School has had a similar system for decades, the move means that Harvard is the only one of the top three law schools that has not moved to such a grading system, which has proved to be more popular law among students and has been praised for deemphasizing competition. With talks beginning as early as last year, Stanford Law School Dean Larry D. Kramer said in a telephone interview Friday...
