I tell every kid that talks to me about law school, that it is much harder to get into law school than it is to pass. Generally, once you're in law school, if you put in any work at all, you will get a "C". It seems that getting accepted is the hard part. Bar exam----different matter.

I noticed that many of the law schools discussed in the article were in relatively-liberal areas. I have doubts that this trend would hold in the more conservative states/schools. It seems that in those schools, good grades are like many graders for an Expert Infantryman's Badge "I got mine, you're screwed".

Interestingly, there was theory that women had an upper-hand in law school, due to having better handwriting. The theory was based upon the premise that most/all law school exams were hand-written essays, and that women's handwriting was better, thus easier to read, thus better grades. Purely anecdotal, and of course all generalizations are false.
