How do transfer GPAs work in law school admissions?

To be as specific as possible, I attended a 4-year public university (top 60 in country) for my freshman year, and got a 3.52 GPA. I was a spring admit (interned in the fall) at a top 20 national university where I now have a 3.96 (got an A- in a 2 credit class I took for fun) as a business student with an International Relations minor, and I hope to only increase my GPA during my junior and senior year. How heavily weighted is my new GPA compared to my transfer GPA, considering I only spent 2 semesters at my previous institution? Do they just take my new and old GPAs and equally average them? Since that drops my GPA, would my upward trend matter to law schools?
