You are not your GPA. Do not judge yourself based on the criteria created by the law school. Do not believe the crap that career services spews- it's only aimed at that 10% anyway. Law school is just an elaborate hoop to jump through.

You do not get to go on the path created for the top 10%. You get to make your own way. You have to use your relationships, network and pound the pavement to find that first job. You have intelligence, skills and perspective that your classmates from a more privileged background do not. Your story is unique, demonstrates your inate talents, and will attract the interest of the right employer.

Finally, you do not have to know how to study for the bar. Bar review will give a detailed study plan. Follow it and the statistics show you will likely pass the bar exam. Take out a bar loan so you can study full time.

What bothers me most about this decision is that both the men and women are assumed to become unthinking animals after intercourse has begun. The man is incapable of stopping until he climaxes and the woman is incapable of changing her mind once there is penetration. The woman is property that can be "de-flowered" and bring shame upon her father's house.

I can understand the desire for there to be bright lines where crime is concerned, particularly in the difficult task of prosecuting or defending rape. However, that is not sufficient justification for this decision. The Court has erased any crimes after penetration and held that the only damage to the woman is the penetration. Courts should not be in the business of enforcing Bibilical, Middle and Assyrian laws but in determining if judicial error has occurred. A judicial error did occur- this embarrassing decision.
