Do firms ever rescind offers if you slack of and end up with a poor G.P.A.? I’m talking full time offers after graduation.

I've never heard of anyone actually getting an offer rescinded. But someone I knew from law school basically got a warning because her grades dropped a lot during 2L. She ended up raising her GPA and did end up going to the firm after graduation.

Possible, yes. Likely, no.

I’m trying to get a gauge of how low it would have to be…. I don’t think I’m anywhere close but I’m still anxious.

I went to a T-6 and heard of big law firms doing this but those in the top tier of firms. I don’t know what the cutoff was though.

Thanks. I imagine it would have to be super low, but I wanted to assuage my fears.

Apparently Gibson Dunn does this.

Yeah… I went to a super high ranked law school, but I don’t know if that matters for the firm.

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?
