LOR question

I have a 170 with a 3.7 gpa, but am a transfer student and transferred into COVId, so I do not have any close relationships with any my Professor at my new school. What should I do?

Former admissions officer here. You could ask a professor from your old school. Or you could approach a more recent professor with a conversation and additional information (resume, draft personal statement, paragraph explaining your narrative, and/or examples of strong academic work) where you share your motivations for applying to law school. From an admissions perspective, an effective LOR is strong, positive, and specific. The committee wants to know what you were like in an academic setting and your potential as a future l as student. It doesn't matter as much when you knew the professor or the professor's title or rank. Good luck!
