First Grades

My first law school grades are in and needless to say, I am not happy. i felt deserving of a higher grade, given the amount of time that I put into studying throughout the semester. At the same time, I knew that there were things that I probably could have improved on, but failed to make the adjustments throughout the course of the 24 hour take home exam period.

Initially, I seemed content with a B - until Berman sent out his email, whereby he explained his usual rhetoric regarding the end all and be all of law school grades. If they weren't important, he would not have spent all that time trying to convince us otherwise. The fact of the matter is that with this grade alone, I've found myself at or around the bottom half of the class - making it plausible that I won't break median if I were to receive any grade lower than a B for the rest of my classes. The one crucial line - at least half of you will receive a B or lower - doesn't sit well with me, given that fully half the class received a B+ or higher...which hurts. I wanted to be one of those students, and I certainly worked for it. Alas, I hope this glitch is only a speed bump, and not truly a sign of things to come. Otherwise, my efforts will be in vain, and it may be difficult to justify my decision to sink so much time and money into my legal career.
