Hi! I'm working on my resume now for my applications, and I'm having trouble condensing it to one page. I've been out of school for about 5 years, and also had internships all throughout undergrad. I also have some significant volunteer and extracurricular things that I think would be meaningful to include.
On a regular resume for a job application, I simply cut my college internships because they are no longer relevant. What is more valuable for the law school resume? Awards/honors I received in college, professional skills, internships, or interesting extracurriculars?

You can have a two page resume. Take a look at the samples on HLS' website. The third one is from somebody who has been out of college a while: https://hls.harvard.edu/dept/jdadmissions/apply-to-harvard-law-school/the-application-process/application-components/
I have been out of undergrad for 4 years. My resume is broken down into four sections: full time experience, education, volunteer work, and personal interests. Under each university I made a line for involvements, internships, awards, and thesis topic. I found this to be a great way to condense a lot of relevant college information without taking away from all of my full time work experience.
I hope this is helpful!
