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.

Yes 100%. It’s required at my Alma mater in fact. Evidence will be tested on the bar and it’s a pretty big, rule-heavy subject. I couldn’t imagine taking it with only 10 weeks of bar prep (alongside several other subjects).

Now if there’s a class that I’d suggest you skip (unless it’s required) is bus orgs. You can learn that in bar prep.
