The slackers from undergrad are now working in random corporate jobs.
Good Luck!

Hi Rho4life,
I agree that one must study harder. I went to University of Chicago Law School, which is one of the premier lawschools in the country, so I am with you. However, for us, interviewers didn't really look to hard at our grades as long as one was not getting primarily C's.
ETA: By no means do I mean to imply that grades are not important. I agree that everyone should get grades that are as good as possible and I agree that the first year is the most important in terms of dictating the ease with which you will secure jobs after the second and final year.
Are you practicing in Cali?
