Grade Change to Pass/Fail

I certainly agree with the sentiment put forth here. Grades seem like such a critical component of the law school experience (given the weight provided to them by potential employers), and yet they pale in comparison to the scope of the ongoing emergency. Despite living in New York, I feel fortunate that my life has yet to be drastically affected. Sure, I don't go outside that much, sometimes spending the entire day indoors, but that is a minor inconvenience compared to the experiences of some classmates and friends. I know multiple people who have family members with the virus, and one of my closest friends has just begun to recover from his (admittedly mild) case. I think the P/F grade change is the most fair way to level the playing field for students, many of whom have been or will be disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
