Your biggest hurdles to admission to a law school will be the competition for each seat available. Good undergraduate grades are important as well as a good LSAT score (more about that later) and attributes that distinguish you from all the other shyster-wannabes. Like regular college admissions, law schools will also examine your extra-curricular participation in "good works" like volunteerism, community involvement, interest in a particular segement of the law, etc.

The LSAT, like the GMAT, SAT, MCAT, etc., is the uniform multiple choice exam given to provide law schools with an apples to apples comparison of candidates. To quote the literature: The LSAT is a half-day standardized test designed to measure some of the skills considered essential for success in law school: the ability to read and comprehend complex texts with accuracy and insight; organize and manage information and draw reasonable inferences from it; think critically; and analyze and evaluate the reasoning and arguments of others.

Therefore, plan your curriculum accordingly.
