Law School reservations due to poor grade in BLaw Forum

[manowar]

Hello yall, new to the forum, I am currently a rising junior

I have recently become determined to go to law school and learn law, but I am a bit worried about my grade I got in my Business Law class (B-). First off, how will this affect admissions, given that my GPA is decent for law school admissions?

Second, is this a pretty fair indicator of how well I will do in learning in law school?

Not to make excuses but here were the conditions while taking the BLaw class: I was distracted with recruiting and interviewing with companies, so I spent less time than I should have studying. I missed 50% of the lectures. To make up for it, I would try to read the book and the cases using LexisNexis to understand it. I went into office hours a few times but am still unsure of why I did so poorly on the tests even though i felt like i understood the reading and the reasoning behind the cases.

My other friends in the class did well simply by going to class and paying attention to lecture. Another possibility why I didn't grasp it was that the book had specific qualifiers for certain terms, yet the test problems were fairly general. My professor said I had siked myself out of the right answer half the time, but I still question if I really understood the problems or if I was thinking too hard for her non specific case questions

I am open to productive criticism

Thank you

You're ruined, dude.

Really doesnt matter. Don't oversell your bad grade to adcoms and let your overall GPA speak for itself (assuming it's good).

This was just a standard class, not something you took through the LS right? I know a few schools that have crosslisted classes for UG/LS.
