Ok, also just read the Yale blog post. If you want to go to Yale, make sure you have at least 2 recs from professors. For everyone else, I would go with my statement above. Thanks @ for that link!

***I want to preface my statement below with I am not referring to students who have been out of undergrad for 1-3 years.

@ I agree with you! I think there are many qualities that being a high quality professional at your job would directly relate to law school and your ability to handle large amounts of work and pressure. I have now been out of undergrad for 6 years and will be out for 7 by the time I hopefully will be going to law school. I completed two graduate degrees, but they were mainly online which did not allow me to make as many personal connections with professors as much as I would have liked to. I have one academic reference but the rest I will get from employers. I read on many websites that whoever you do get to write your recs should be able to speak to your abilities to successfully complete a law degree whether it is an academic professor or an employer, but that it is way more important that you choose individuals who are able to reference your strengths as a worker/student/individual which for you would be an employer. For those of us out of undergrad for so long, I think it would be silly to ask an undergrad professor to write a rec unless you have stayed in touch with yours and they know how you have grown as a worker over the past 6-7 years. When I emailed my employers asking to write my recs, I told them to please gear the rec towards how I would function in law school based on what they have seen me do at my jobs. Something I took away from the questions and answers last night was unless there is something really horrific in your rec (you are immoral, would make a horrible lawyer, ect.) you won't get dinged on your recs. I also took away from the conversation that recs are more supporting documents for your personal statement, resume, and scores than anything else. I think at one point it was stated that recs won't make or break your acceptance unless there is something horrific.@, please let me know if I am completely off with everything I have said. These have been my take-aways from the conversation last night and reading over websites mainly for the T14 law schools.
