How much does undergrad influence Law school admissions?

I don’t know how much the undergrad school name matters for law school admissions, but I do know that the intangible aspects of education at a more prominent school can have an impact in that at a higher-ranking school, the expectations and “know-how” of the faculty and classmates are more tuned to getting students into top-tier law schools (and top-tier jobs, etc.). E.g., at Yale, the faculty and staff are used to getting students into Stanford Law School and know how to manage the process; at Less-Prestigious U., they’re not.
