I wouldn't worry too much. I'd probably laugh if I saw a transcript reading A/A- and then D the first semester 3L. Maybe try and do well and this semester. But you've got top grades and are working at a top firm, so it wouldn't concern me.

For someone who's never received below an A/A- and going to a v5, as well. What happened and what should I do to make sure it doesn't happen to me? If you don't mind me asking.

Pretty sure you have to try to get a D. Like skip 1/2 of the classes, never read, and only read a supplement 2 days before exam to get a D. You might get a B if it's a bad class/semester, but I wouldn't worry about "accidentally" getting a D. You'll know if you're gonna get a D.

the joys of HYSB's H/P system... skip all the classes, never read, and only skim an outline the morning of the exam. still get a P.

Was this D a surprise to Boo, or did he see it coming?

For 3 years they told me best law school for 1000 miles in any direction. You really think I'm going to stop believing that now?

ETA: Google maps says the two Chicago schools are 1100 miles away and I'm not going to even dignify the Vandy nonsense with a response

The combination of the headline and picture at the top of this article is pretty interesting.

All I took from that is a 3rd year lawyer from UT is just as good as a freshly minted Yalie

I'd say that's pretty good!

Wow, we are all SUPER impressed by your phenomenal credentials that you had to throw into this post.

Your random hostility makes you seem jealous.

V5 all star knows s/he isn't going to get a D. Just wanted to flash those stats.

It's still unlikely that your offer would be rescinded, but this will make it difficult for you to get hired by another legal employer in the next few years. Yea your grades matter less when you lateral but they still ask for the transcripts and this is one of the few things that would be a red flag when you're a relatively recent graduate. Our recruiting committee would not recommend an interview to a second or third year lateral candidate with a failing grade regardless of what firm they were coming from. I would go talk to the professor and see if you can't get it to at least a C.

Also, which law schools give D's?

F bombs get dropped at THE University of Texas School of Law. That's a consensus Top 15 law school right there. Most profs like to find a sacrificial D or F or two or three in every class.

Good times man. Good times.

You have to be a really shitty human being--I mean, a real fucker with nothing good going on in your life--to be a law professor and give a 3L an F or D in a class.

Why is the fact that he's a 3L relevant? Heaven forbid the professor expects students to try for all three years!! The horror!

I would consider it disrespectful of my time (and money) when some hung over 3L would come to class without having done the reading, and would struggle hopelessly through a cold call for several minutes, whereas someone who had done the reading could have answered the questions in one minute and let the professor move on.

[BigZuck]

Disrespectful of their money?

Dude if people were paying me 200K a year to just straight chill like a law prof the least I could do is not tank someone's career

Just LOL at a law prof's LUST for RIGOR. We're talking about people that have probably never worked a day in their life. Certainly whatever they do in their capacity as a professor can't accurately be called "work."

In this scenario, it is the 3L's fault for taking a class that cold calls.

Bigger waste of time and money is forcing people to pay for a third year that they don't want

Well that's more of a reason why the whole cold calling process is a waste of time. At that point, the Professor should just move on. Besides, I've literally never been in a law school class where a Professor opens up a question to the floor and there isn't at least someone willing to take it on (in stark contrast to the painfully awkward silences in my undergrad courses) so cold calling isn't accomplishing anything.

Dude this was nearly every upperclassman at my law school that deigned to show up to class, which was still something considering the persons that didn't. You gonna fail 80% of the class? Even if the chap didn't show up, as long as he took the final and/or wrote the papers, he or she didn't deserve a D. Moreover, sounds like this was a tryhard who would have done the work anyway.

Also lol @ their money, fuck their money, we pay them.

OP here.

It was a 3 credit class with a race horse exam. There were multiple problems with grades this semester so I still have a bit of hope that someone screwed up and the professor graded the wrong test, or admin screwed up inputting grades.

Just ignoring the fact that they're grouping UofH in there with you too?

Couldn't be further from the truth, but if the soothsayer say it, it must be true. Intriguing that some people would be legitimately annoyed with my post. What reason would I have to gloat on a throwaway account, or at all? It was merely context for my question. I guess next time, it will be anonymous, or I will leave that (perhaps, unnecessary?) information out of my posts. LOL internet.

OP - Do you know for a fact that your test went through the system?

A D is such a poor grade and given your prior grades, it should be impossible for you to turn in a D exam even if you don't know any the law. Unless you offended the professor or cheated, it's hard to imagine you getting a D. If you submitted a blank exam, or like 50 words or something ridiculous then it's possible the professor gave you a D just to not fail you. This seems more likely than getting a D. I'd guess it didn't go through in this situation.

[star fox]

I don't really agree that someone deserves decent enough grade just by actually turning in an exam if they demonstrated zero awareness or knowledge of the subject material just because they pay tuition.
