Wait. . .you mean my gpa is just a random smattering of numbers that really won't have much of an affect on my life beyond my initial job placement?

You mean that I will still be an excellent attorney even though I wasn't Order of the Coif?

You mean I can still get some trim even without telling a girl my class rank?

Holy shit! Why didn't anybody tell me this!?!

Outside of graduating with honors, what relevance could my GPA have 5-10 years down the line?

Will clients give a flying fuck that I graduated with a 3.37 as opposed to a 3.5?

"Will clients give a flying fuck that I graduated with a 3.37 as opposed to a 3.5?"

no. but it might make a difference to u whether the clients that don't give a flying fuck are gutter sucking slip-and-trip junkies bringing u $15k whiplash claims or fortune 50 companies with billion dollar breach actions.

Not by amounts that small, no. But if you want to lateral (and most lawyers do at some point), firms will note whether you're an top of the class type or a median one or a scraping the barrel one. They will still ask for transcripts.

But if you have a desire for academia then you know going in that nothing short of Law Review and Federal Clerkship will allow you to achieve your goal.

Not so if you want to be a practicing attorney.

I agree if I try to leave w/in 2-3 years or so when I haven't established myself as a lawyer.

But you can't honestly tell me that as a 5-6yr associate, a comparable firm will ding me due to Law School grades, especially if I have a Partner on the inside looking to bring me over.

Your title is a response to your perception of another person's position or an exaggeration of another person's position. However, this position is a ludicrious position that no one actually holds. No one says that your self-worth is tied to your GPA. They may say that your worth is tied to your GPA. They may say that your career is tied to your GPA. However, your "self-worth" is what you are worth to yourself. No one who does not know you personally would make a claim as to how you evaluate yourself.

Furthermore, the fact that your self-worth isn't tied to your GPA isn't particularly meaningful. Why do I care how you measure yourself? Let's say I consider your GPA to be the most important representation of your personhood. Do I care that you do not evaluate yourself in this way? Were I to disagree with you, I would simply look at you with a sneer and condescending ridicule.
