Grading policy
Following the tradition of most American law schools, Texas Tech determines the grade for each course a student takes by administering one final exam which counts for the entirety of the student's grade. The professor may, however, manipulate the final grade for low attendance or class performance.
Texas Tech utilizes a grading distribution in their courses that compares each student's performance in relation to the other students in the same course. This means that while a grade may appear low on a transcript, it does not necessarily mean the student performed poorly, rather, the student did not out-perform his or her peers.
Trial Advocacy Program
The Texas Tech School of Law has a widely recognized trial advocacy program. Throughout the years, the law school has won a plethora of awards. Some of the school's most recent awards include the following:
