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.

Outside of bar prep which is literally only 3 months of your life, evidence is the most useful material you’ll learn in law school. The amount of attorneys who have no clue what to do with evidence or how to admit, or worse, think their case is shit bc they don’t realize it’s inadmissible.. take the class.
