For their remaining two-and-a-half years, students are graded on an Honors/Pass/Low Pass/Fail system. Similarly, the school does not rank its students. It is also notable for having only a single semester of required classes (plus two additional writing requirements), instead of the full year most U.S. schools require. Unusually, and as a result of unique Connecticut State court rules, Yale Law allows first-year students to represent clients through one of its numerous clinics; other law schools typically offer this opportunity only to second- and third-year students. </p><p>Students publish nine <a href="/wiki/Law_review" title="Law review">law journals</a> that, unlike those at most other schools, mostly accept student editors without a competition. The only exception is YLS's flagship journal, the <i><a href="/wiki/Yale_Law_Journal" class="mw-redirect" title="Yale Law Journal">Yale Law Journal</a></i>, which holds a two-part admissions competition each spring, consisting of a four- or five-hour "<a href="/wiki/Bluebook" title="Bluebook">bluebooking</a> exam," followed by a traditional writing competition.
