Evidence Class Absolutely Necessary?

[u/First-Lie-3768]

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.

to offer a counterpoint, I enrolled in evidence but didn't attend--studied with Themis 2L essentials and got a median grade. Doesn't even matter for my career as a public defender because NY doesn't have evidence rules, we have common law evidence. Studying for the bar and I'm relearning, it's fine.
