What does a good EC list look like for law school applications?

Er, Peace Corps, Teach for America, saving orphans in ex-Soviet countries.

Honestly, most of the law school application is about the LSAT and then GPA. ECs factor in a little (as in, schools will look to see if you have any). But unless you are Peace Corps or building houses in a third world country, they aren’t going to help that much because most undergraduates can only have very “normal” ECs. Do what you are interested in and what you have a passion for while keeping your GPA high. And most importantly, get a high LSAT.
