Yale Law School just announced a curve

Thought you all might find this interesting. From an email the Dean sent out to students today:

"Starting next fall, the Law School will limit Honors grades in courses with more than 15 students to 40 percent. Courses with 15 or fewer students will be exempt from this limit unless an instructor opts into it. Grades given in satisfaction of the Supervised Analytic Writing requirement will be exempt in all courses."

Before now, YLS has not had a mandatory curve (Although many professors were already choosing to cap "H" grades to 40%).
