What is considered a good GPA in law school?

• Answer:

  On One Hand: You Need at Least a 3.7 to be Doing WellAccording to the University of Virginia law blog, the median grade-point average for all students at that school is a 3.3 (B+) average. To be considered a top student, the blog's writer suggests that you need at least a 3.7 (A-) average. Of course, according to the Internet Legal Research Group, all GPAs at top schools average above 3.3, so to be considered truly exceptional, you need to be close to 4.0.On the Other: Maybe Grades Don't MatterLaw school grades will go a long way toward determining your first job in the field. If you are not looking at working for a top firm or have distinguished yourself in other ways (perhaps publishing or clerking for a prestigious judge), then a 3.3 GPA would be considered good enough.Bottom LineThere is no consensus on what constitutes a good law school GPA other than the fact that the vast majority of students who graduate have a 3.0 or better. Law school, it has been joked, grades on a B+ curve and anyone under that line generally does not make it to the finish.Source:http://www.uvalawblog.com/2010/01/gradewatch-2k10-part-ii-now-what.htmlhttp://www.ilrg.com/rankings/law/index.php/1/desc/GPALow/avgMore Information:http://volokh.com/posts/1138056460.shtmlOn One Hand: On the Other: Bottom Line
