The Law School Faculty yesterday voted unanimously in favor of sending a proposal for pass/fail option courses at the Law School to the Harvard Committee on Legal Education.
The committee will review the proposal, and make a recommendation for or against it at the second Law Faculty meeting of next year, Stephen M. Bernardi '52, assistant dean of the Law School, said yesterday.
The Law Faculty has considered a proposal to introduce pass/fail courses many times over the last ten years, Bernardi added.
The last proposal for the pass/fail option at the Law School was introduced in 1970. The Law Faculty rejected the proposal at that time.
The present proposal is the result of a petition sent to Albert M. Sacks, dean of the Law School, two weeks ago, which requested that the Law School instate a pass/fail option.
The committee will not vote on the specific proposals of the petition, but will only vote on whether or not to consider instating any kind of pass/fail option.
Almost 20 per cent of the present law students signed the petition.
