As far as your guaranteed job after graduation goes, keep in mind that law firms (even big ones) break up all the time, restructure, etc.

It will be tough to estimate which schools will accept you because your GPA and LSAT are so unrelated, but you would certainly get into a local school somewhere in your area.

Just a comment: If you earned your high undergrad GPA by taking two classes at a time while working, you should know that you cannot do that in law school (ABA rules require you to finish within a set time), so you will probably be taking three difficult courses if you’re part-time (and, presumably still working full-time) so it will be tough.

If you really, really want to be a lawyer, and you’re willing to sacrifice three years of your life - only to start over as a new associate - then I say go for it, but with open eyes.
