How much work experience on resume?

Hi! I'm working on my resume now for my applications, and I'm having trouble condensing it to one page. I've been out of school for about 5 years, and also had internships all throughout undergrad. I also have some significant volunteer and extracurricular things that I think would be meaningful to include.
On a regular resume for a job application, I simply cut my college internships because they are no longer relevant. What is more valuable for the law school resume? Awards/honors I received in college, professional skills, internships, or interesting extracurriculars?

If you can get access you may want to read through the resume section of the 7sage admissions course: https://7sage.com/admissions/lesson/resume-overview/
You can have a two page resume. Take a look at the samples on HLS' website. The third one is from somebody who has been out of college a while: https://hls.harvard.edu/dept/jdadmissions/apply-to-harvard-law-school/the-application-process/application-components/
I have been out of undergrad for 4 years. My resume is broken down into four sections: full time experience, education, volunteer work, and personal interests. Under each university I made a line for involvements, internships, awards, and thesis topic. I found this to be a great way to condense a lot of relevant college information without taking away from all of my full time work experience.
I hope this is helpful!
