Better grades give you more options, but it's not determinative. Even people getting Cs are spending are investing a lot of time into law school so why no make the extra effort to do as best you can. My argument it doesn't hurt to have good grades.

argument my is good is English.

What's it like around the end of January when everyone gets their grades? Does the class dynamic change at all, or does no one talk about it at all?

My 2L and 3L friends say that people you thought were your friends suddenly become part of "this group" or "that group". Or those that made law review, and those that didn't.

You can recover, I got a C+ in con law, and I'm still #13 in my class. You just can't get more than 1 or 2 or your out of the top 20% for good (depending on your schools curve)

a 3L here got a C- her 1L year and is now top 10, not 10% but top 10
