Ground pigtails with conduit
Check with your AHJ. I'm fairly sure they no longer accept
conduit ground, at least not here.

I'm installing exposed EMT conduit in my garage. The whole
system will
be in the conduit, which will be used for the ground. I'm
unclear on
whether I'm required to run ground pigtails from outlets and
switches
to the back of the boxes. It seems pointless since the ground
screw on
the outlet/switch is screwed into the same physical piece of
metal that
makes up the mounting flange that screws into the box. I
believe I'm
okay to leave it off with the outlets because the packaging they
come
in says "grounding", is that right? How about the switches,
should they
say "grounding" too (these ones don't)? Thanks for any advice.
