The generally accepted maxim is…

…with those numbers, you will not get in to any law school worth going to. You may get into a few 4th tier schools, but don’t hold your breath for a job paying more than $45k after graduation.

That, said, if you’re real intent on law school, I would definitely recommend re-taking the LSAT. Shoot for a 10 point improvement. A 151 average, coupled with a 3.85 GPA, should get you into a few third tier schools. I will also echo that law schools really don’t like “pre-law” or “paralegal” majors. As pointed out above, it may be good for the secretarial aspects of law, but it’s counterintuitive in terms of learning legal philosophy, which is what law schools and employers look for.
