Has anybody looked at the picture of Boalt Hall on the Boalt Hall Wikipedia page? I'm almost certain it's not Boalt, or if it is I was very confused for the past few years.

I don't know how to delete a picture from Wikipedia - perhaps somebody else could do it.

It's a picture of the North Addition to Boalt Hall, completed in 1996. The picture was taken from the north end of the building in the parking lot, admittedly not a very common entrance. 128.32.28.18 23:59, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]


I noticed three things about Boalt's grading system that were not congruent with my memory, but which I declined to edit since for all I know the grading system could have been tweaked since I graduated. Perhaps a current Boalt student or faculty can confirm or deny:

  1. Are HHs limited to the top 10%, as opposed to the top 10% in 1L classes and the top 15% otherwise?
  2. Is the top score really just called the Jurisprudence Award nowadays, as opposed to American Jurisprudence or AmJur?
  3. Are Prosser Prizes universal, or by discretion of professor (and therefore usually limited to classes above a particular size)?

  1. The Boalt grading system hasn't changed since 1970, apart from the addition of the (rare) grade of PC. For 2L/3L courses, HHs are received by either the top 10-15% OR the top 10% plus-or-minus two students.
  2. Transcripts say only "Jurisprudence Award." However, actual usage varies.
  3. Prossers are discretionary, but I don't they are limited by class size. --Saabie 07:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
