LOR question

I have one LOR from an undergrad professor who knows me very well and always writes a superb letter for me.

I've been in the working world for 2 years, so I'm wondering would it be better for me to get another LOR from an undergrad law professor (likely to be run of the mill review) or a current boss of mine (great review)? This would mean letting my boss know that I plan to leave the company to go to law school.

OR should I use a character reference that would definitely be a glowing review of my work ethic?

If you've been working having a LOR that is great and personally insightful is the way to go from a boss is better than a run of the mill professor letter. Just make sure your boss touches on points about your abilities that will be important in law school.

You really should have at least two academic if you can. You're not K-JD but you aren't far off so I would say your best bet is two academic LORs and one from your employer.

Also it doesn't matter if the UG prof was in a law related class. Just get the best second academic LOR you can regardless of the area of expertise of the professor, or the class you took with them.

I graduated college 9 years ago, and all the professors I was close to died or left academia a long time ago. I've only worked freelance jobs in music since graduating so I have no real employers. What should I to do about LoRs?
