Law in Contemporary Society
What I wonder is if having more methods of evaluation throughout the semester would increase or decrease that level of competition.

A law school class is not, and should not be, a zero-sum situation. Sharing knowledge and collaborating with one's classmates does not involve the transfer of benefits from one student to another. If I share my outline with my classmate, I do not view that as decreasing my chances of success while simultaneously increasing theirs. By helping others, you are cementing your own knowledge of the material and, thus, increasing your own chances of success. We as law students will benefit the most if we transform law school into a non-zero-sum situation. We should depend on eachother to do the best we can possibly do, to attain the most knowledge we can attain, in order to compete with other law school communities in the long run.

How much of what is being done to us, is a product of the school's design, and how much of it is our own doing? We each set our own personal goals, we each decide how much we'll let our grades matter to us, we each decide how much we're willing to collaborate. Maybe the curve is not the issue, but how we each react to it is.
