Law School GPA Calculator
This tool helps law students track their GPA accurately, taking into account the unique grading scale and credit hours for each course.
Understanding the Concept
Law school GPAs are usually calculated on a 4.0 scale with plus (+) and minus (-) distinctions. The formula is:
GPA = \(\frac{\sum (\text{Grade Points} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\sum \text{Credit Hours}}\)
Typical Law School Grading System
| Letter Grade | Grade Points (4.0 Scale) |
|---|---|
| A+ | 4.3 |
| A | 4.0 |
| A- | 3.7 |
| B+ | 3.3 |
| B | 3.0 |
| B- | 2.7 |
| C+ | 2.3 |
| C | 2.0 |
| D | 1.0 |
| F | 0.0 |

Example Calculation
| Course | Grade | Credit Hours | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Constitutional Law | A | 4 | 4.0 |
| Contracts | B+ | 3 | 3.3 |
| Criminal Law | A- | 4 | 3.7 |
| Civil Procedure | B | 3 | 3.0 |
| Legal Writing | A | 2 | 4.0 |
GPA = \(\frac{(4.0×4)+(3.3×3)+(3.7×4)+(3.0×3)+(4.0×2)}{4+3+4+3+2} = 3.61\)
