C 娃如何年入百万 - 看到一个帖子，老美靠天吃饭的不少

How you do in law school will not dictate how good you can be as an attorney.
I got a lot of C's in law school.

And that was after I only barely got in.

SLU Law waitlisted me initially, then accepted me, but only into the part-time night program weeks before classes started.

Seeing as how I graduated bottom 20% of my class, those admissions people might have been right to doubt me.

I got one A in three years. Just one.

Trial Advocacy.

Unlike almost every other class in law school, Trial Ad didn't involve hundreds of pages of reading or writing long essays.

Trial Ad was about getting a case, diving into the facts and law, and learning how to present that case persuasively.

Turns out, I had some talent for that. I got the best grade and an award at graduation.

They did the whole deal, calling my name, having me walk up from the crowd to shake hands and smile for the camera as my classmates clapped.

Still graduated bottom 20% of my class, but had that one encouraging anomaly in 2010.

Over the last year, our firm has gotten 8-figure verdicts—twice.
