Your PS doesn't have to tie into your interest in law. I'd say it's better to omit that than have it awkwardly crammed into your PS.
I was able to incorporate a why law in a few sentences. -

Resume Question- where to put teaching assistant experienceIf you served as a TA during college should that go under your education section or should it go under your jobs/experience section? Thanks!
Wanted to echo what @MissChanandler said. I did a lot of TA-ing and tutoring during and after university and put it under my jobs/project experience section. It's valid work experience and in my case that section would be hella short otherwise, lol. -

Yes, it's work experience. You're not the one being taught, you're working for the teacher. -

Welcome! I would also say that if you are a freshman or sophomore, the LSAT doesn't need to be your focus right now and you should continue your hard work with your GPA and get in some volunteer/work experience that you enjoy. -

If you have a good amount of solid work experience, then you could leave the TA part off. If you feel like you need to pad your resume though, you might want to leave it on. I think that'll just be a judgement call for you.
