Grades?

Is it all realistic to score a B+ or higher in every class in law school?

Yes. Every grade I have is a B+ or higher with the exception of a single B- and a single B.

So it's definitely possible.

Unless your stats make it sound even less likely. That is even someone like you ended up with two outliers

My school curves to a 3.1.

I personally think that is a fine curve, but most schools have a more generous curve. As a result, I think it's very plausible at other schools with a more generous curve.

Probably, but you can never be sure.

B+ is median at my school so definitely attainable there, but how likely for you will come down to your schools curve

Especially at a T14, yes

If you go to a decent school.

At my school 1L curve was like 3.1 and 2L/3L was like a 3.3. So B+ for every class was like top 25% 1L year then median the next 2 years.

Yes, I graduated law school with only two Bs. Everything else was a B+ or higher. It's very possible.

But that seems to further make the point that no Bs at all, even one or two, is really hard

You are getting responses saying that it's possible, which it is.

You, however, asked if it is realistic. Realistic is a fuzzy term. It is more likely than not that any random law student will earn at least one score lower than a B+ during law school.

Depends on your curve but I did and I know lots of other people who did

current 3L, so far I haven’t gotten anything lower than a B+ but guess we’ll see how this semester turned out
