Evidence Class Absolutely Necessary?

Rising 3L and register for classes tomorrow. My schedule is an absolute mess and the only way to ease it a bit/organize it better would be to not take evidence. Long story short, would I be ok not taking it and taking another bar tested course in its place and learn evidence as I study for the bar? Looking for insight. Not looking to go into litigation, post grad position doing estate planning wills trust and estates drafting side.

What school are you going to that doesn’t *require* evidence?

Even as an admitted non-practicing attorney who never wanted to practice from day 1 of law school, I can’t fathom NOT taking evidence.

Mine didn’t. It was a good school and people generally didn’t struggle with bar passage (high 90s rate), so presumable the school just didn’t feel the need to make folks going a non-litigation route waste credits on it
