Beyond that, it's hard to make any judgments about this without seeing the complaint and actually knowing what the claims are. On one hand the article seems to suggest that the grading system is arbitrary, but elsewhere there seems to be some suggestion that these two students were targeted to be "curved out."

The outside grading thing was odd to me as well. At my law school, while some professors would seek input from their TAs, all of them did the final grading. I wonder how many schools use outside services.
