Two years ago, when I applied to my current MBA program, I asked my history professor from undergraduate studies to write me a LOR. I had two work LOR's set up but one of them fell through. Is it weird to ask a person who wrote an older LOR to write another one for a different field?

@vduran1988561 that's a lot riding on this LOR. I hope you get what you asked for from your professor!
I made sure to let him know how appreciative I was of his LOR then, and that I totally understand if he doesn't have the time now. If he can't do it, I am going to be doing some serious searching over the next week! :)
@vduran1988561 you definitely shouldn't let that stop you from asking! Professors know their students will ask for LORs. The worst they could do is say no, and then you'll be in the same situation you are now:) Just be sure to be considerate of their time and such.
Awesome! Thank you for making me feel less awkward. I sent him a copy of his older LOR in case he wanted to reformat it. It was excellent then, and I feel bad asking again.
Not at all. If he/she was comfortable writing you a LOR for your MBA program, I'm sure they wouldn't mind writing one for law school.
no, you should ask, especially if you know the person well and they will write you a strong LOR. it might actually be advantageous to have an recommender who also recommended you for a MBA program - they can speak about your growth over years etc.
nope you should ask
