Law students tend to be edgy, confrontational, short-tempered and suspicious. This is a cutthroat business. Thousands of dollars are at stake, and there's only one way to win. Grades are to law students what profits are to a business. They are everything.

Bad students only eat, drink, sleep and breathe grades. I'm going to have activities. I'm going to be well-balanced. Balance doesn't get you in the door. Balance won't help you see the hiring partner.
