I had a similar experience on my first memo 1L year. I ended up meeting with the prof. enough that I got a better idea of what he was looking for. My 2nd memo was a big improvement and I ended up with a B for the semester. It was a big relief after I tanked the first memo. See if you can get some time with the professor, make sure you take notes of what he/she is looking for. No reason to panic. You'll turn it around.

the problem is that a "decent income" working for a small firm is not going to be $70,000 a year in most cases. biglaw pays around $100-160K....the next step down is often to $35,000-50,000 a year. so if you're comfortable earning that salary out of law school, tier 3/4 without loans should be fine.
I don't think this is entirely accurate. The next step down from big law is not making 35-50,000 a year. This may be true for a small firm (10 or less attorneys) because they simply don't have the money for the high salaries. But midsize firms you can easily make between 50-80,000 and still have a life.
I agree with what people are saying for the most part. If you are in a legal market that is not flooded with higher ranked schools AND your school has a good local rep and you want to stay there, take the money and run. Make sure your school has a good rep though. I would not go anywhere that is consistently trashed by others.
I completely agree. I don't know where this rumor started that it was $160,000 or $40,000, but from what I've seen that's very inaccurate. Everyone I know that has gone into non-biglaw private firms has started in the 80's, or 90's.
Take everything you read on this board with a grain of salt.
It's definitely not $160K or $40K. Some people make under $30K.
You are correct, but just about all of them didn't go to law school.
True. Some of them went to Cooley.

Firefox > Internet Explorer. I used that site my 1L year, and had no problems. Coincidentally, I've always used Firefox.

I worked for a state judge this last summer (my 1L summer). I received federal work-study and the judge paid me. Total compensation was about $6,000 for 9 weeks worth of work @ 40 hours per week.

Yep. Game over. Drop out now.  Obviously its first semester, and you can still pull your grades up... A good friend of mine started with a 3.1 his first semester. He ended first year with a 3.45 (#16 in our class). Learn from your mistakes. You can absolutely improve on your grades. A lot of people are burnt out second semester and end up dropping off.

You should find comfort in the fact that Julie will die alone...

I have more important things to concern myself with, like how much the average jizz-mopper makes per hour.
Julie said its around 8 bucks an hour, but her job was recently given away to an illegal for 4.50.

Damn Google translator. I had to look up ass, and it spit back donkey. I didn't catch that, LOL, very nice.
That link is great. You can get all their shows through the internet. Of course, that doesn't do you much good in the car...

I'd do a single mom, but then I'm not picky. I'd just put hot sauce in the condom after I was done with it, in case she got any turkey baster ideas.
Or you could just flush the condom. /shrug
They clog the toilet...
