B- in legal research. How screwed am I?

Post by Hoosiers » Wed May 14, 2014 2:44 pm

Finished first semester in top 10-15% of class at a T1 (30s).

Just got my legal research grade back (B-), and I am wonder how totally boned I am. Its one credit, but legal writing is 2 credits and I am afraid I am going to get a B or worse in that class too.

On the edge of the cliff. Should I jump or not?

Your cumulative GPA/class rank will matter far more than the individual grades.

Screwed is relative. What do you want to do post law school?
