Law School Look at Degree GPA or Cumulative GPA?

So on the LSAC report my Cumulative GPA is higher than Degree GPA, because I transferred from one college to another after my Sophomore year. Any idea which one the law school admissions will look at? Thanks!

Cant Get Right

They'll look at your LSAC GPA which is a number that they generate themselves. They do this because different schools calculate GPA a little differently, and there really needs to be a standard that everyone is following. Your LSAC GPA will be based on your CGPA though, so that is the one you want to look at.
