All KJDs and no adults make a law school soulless.

This is just silly. Lots of non-k-JDs rock the LSAT.

Exactly!
90% of Northwestern's students aren't k-JDs.

LSAT is more indicative of law school success than GPA anyways so I don't get the outrage other than you're butthurt you didn't score higher.

Link? I thought the correlation of both (either lsat or gpa) was pretty close. I certainly did better in law school than peers who outscored me in the lsat.

Median correlation to 1L grades:
GPA only: 0.26
LSAT only: 0.38
LSAT+GPA: 0.48

I don't know that 1L grades = law school success. Nevertheless, the difference seems rather small.

Also the lsat sucks.

1L grades = job placement right?

Not entirely. But if we're speaking solely about biglaw then sure.

Graduating below 50% in law school since law school is three years...

Obviously not entirely. There are many factors. WE, hotness, charisma, a particular demonstrated interest, etc.
I can't think of anything more predictive of placement in a legal career than grades though.

I agree. But 1L grades =/= three years of grades.

True. The 1L forced curve is what differentiates the class though. So it's really not the grades that matter for jobs--it's the class rank.
