  Your undergraduate GPA is more important. It is what schools end up reporting.

  Older but still relevant

  To my knowledge, law schools don't care about graduate GPA, as they tend to be inflated across the board. The only GPA they care about is the GPA leading up to the first undergraduate degree.

  Graduate GPA is a soft factor. UGPA gets baked into a school's 509 disclosures and USNWR ranking.

  I obviously trust @"David.Busis" on anything related to admissions. Schools love to inflate their undergrad statistics because it helps with their ratings. However, if you slayed your grad school classes, I'm sure that helps you.

  Your undergrad GPA is the one that matters because that's the one that gets factored into rankings and such. Your grad school GPA is a soft factor.
