Self-study
I have been graduated from college for a year now, headed into my second. I can not say that I have maintained any strong relationships with professors due to the fact that I almost always was at work. I would come to class and head straight to work. However, I did work for the Office of Admissions at my university and fostered really great connections with my supervisors.
My question is, would it be better to get a letter of recommendation from someone at my on-campus job, my job/internship at the law firm I currently work at, a past employer, my current mentor, or still try and obtain a professor's letter of recommendation.
I have really close personal/professional relationships with the above (minus the professor) and would love thoughts! Thanks!

Maybe reach out to a professor you did exceptionally good classwork for and explain that you didn't have much time to meet with professors due to your part-time work, but explain your reasons why you want to go to law school and how you would really appreciate a letter describing your work quality? And you could jog their memory using specific assignments you did (maybe even send them essays you wrote for them). Good luck to you!
From meeting with a plethora of law school admissions people. They always say they’d like to see a letter that demonstrate your ability in the classroom, as well as a professional one. I would try to get a professor. But really only if they can write you a good one
