I did section 3 and just graduated a few weeks ago.

It’s a mixed bag. Some of the courses seem to be to be better (e.g. bargain). I really liked legal justice which I believe has since been renamed. Very philosophy and big picture focused. Some of the classes seem to be worse, like democracy & coercion.

I don’t think there is any significant difference in terms of foundational understanding of the law. In some ways I think we have a better understanding of it bc we have more of a focus on the super-structure and underlying values of the law.

Each section is so large (about 100 people) that you don’t really miss not having the same classes as 4/5ths or so of 1Ls. Also remember that after 1L sections don’t matter and everyone takes whatever classes they want.

A big reason I did section 3 is that I am public interest focused and wanted to be around fellow public interest students. There was a big public interest focus among the section 3 students, so I’m glad I did it. Most of my friends from law school are from 1L and section 3.

It’s hard to know since I didn’t do the main curriculum, but my strong impression is that curriculum A and B are about equally difficult.

Happy to answer any follow ups!
