Been a while since school - Law School question?

I got my BA in 1998 - so I've been out enjoying life for a few years now, and now finding I have the opportunity to go back to school. SO, among many other things I am considering - I am also considering law. From below questions I got most of what I needed...my question though, since it has been a while since school and your BA and LSAT are important aspects, do you think I need to go back for some refresher type basic classes or my 11 year old degree will still be admissable?

    Your degree if fine. Do well in on your LSAT, and if possible, get some really good recommendations for your former professors. That is also very important. I know it might be hard to track them down - but in that case, contact the department of your major and they can usually help you. You can also use recommendation letters from your employer, but they can't vouch for your ability in the classroom.

    Good Luck!

    Your degree is fine. I go to school with a lot of people who graduated 10-20 years ago and have now decided to go to law school. Practice and practice some more for the LSAT, it is a difficult skills test.

    Your degree is still good. They don't care how long you've been away.

    As long as you have good LSATs, you're fine.

    In face, law schools like the fact that you have experience!

    Good luck!
