Do legal employers put a big emphasis on grades after an applicant has clerked for a year?
Do employers ask to see your grades 3 years out of law school? What about 5 or 10 years? Do employers ever stop asking to see your grades?
How much weight do employers put on grades in decisions to hire at these stages in your career?

They absolutely matter for your post-clerkship employment search and everyone still asks for a transcript. Now, 5 years out, they will matter less, because your job opportunities will be more dependent on your networking/connections and/or a firm's need for your specific practice area.
