Chances are, you've received at least some of your first semester law school grades by now. We hope you're jumping for joy, but the reality is that most students didn't do as well as they hoped. Don't panic - this isn't the end of your legal career. You have plenty of time to turn things around. The important thing is to stay focused, learn from your mistakes, and put a plan in place for success next time around. It is possible!
In this episode we discuss:

What you need to understand about the curve
Why do people get so stressed out about law school grades? 
Steps to take after you get your grades
Why it's OK to be disappointed
How to evaluate your study process
Why outlining is an important tool in studying for exams
The importance of getting feedback
