Top Law Schools

I'm still at the job I had 1L summer. Firm, pays, area of interest. If I strike out, should I look for something else 2L, or stick around here? I'm getting a lot of good experience here, but don't want to narrow myself too much.

Goal would be to improve grades & try again in 3LOLCI. Top 20% T20 right now, feel like I could improve into top 10-15%.

OP: 70% I'm stupid. 30% family emergency/death during finals. Spring grades alone would be in top 10%. Fall was a drag.

25-50% chance. Depends on business needs.

Do you have to make a decision soon? If not, just keep looking and hustling for something better, but fall back on your current job if nothing pans out.
