Would it really be that detrimental to one's grades to occasionally stop by a Federalist Society, Environmental Law, et al. meeting every once in a while, or is time in law really that scarce? Does anyone have any interest in being involved with any campus organization as a 1L or is everyone going to wait until 2L or beyond?

I don't think it would be a bad thing to stop by activities/clubs. Time isn't scare, so much as it is important to just correctly budget your time. If something catches your eye, I say go for it.
