The older students in my law school class tended to perform better than students who came straight from college. Their work ethic was stronger and they were not distracted by their social lives.
While I agree with the above posters, I would talk to the career counseling office at the law school you are considering to get a realistic asessment of your prospects. MomofWildChild raises an especially good point in noting that the caliber of the law school will make a big difference in the caliber of the employers who come on campus.
