You can get into a law school with a 2.5 GPA -- it just won't be a top-noch law school, even if you get a very high LSAT score. Since the competition is so stringent at the top law schools, they get thousands of applications for approximately 200-300 seats and there are enough applicants with very high LSAT's and very high GPA's. I scored the 90th percentile on the LSAT and had a 3.6 GPA from a very respectable University, and the best I made was a top-20 law school (was rejected from all top-10 law schools I applied to).
Answeri would try to raise the GPA to around a 3.5..usually schools have a cut-off GPA that you must have in order to get in. the only other way i can think of is that a lot of schools also like to see some form of experience related to the subject before they accept you. perhaps interning as an assistant or something in a law firm will aid you in your application.I disagree, you do not have to have a GPA that high. It can only help but it is definitely not a requirement. The number one thing that you can do to get into law school is to have a high score on your Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). If you score between a 160-180 on your LSAT then you will not have any trouble getting into law school. Remember that there are a lot of great law schools out there, if you score well on your LSAT then you will be able to attend one of them regardless of your low GPA

∙ 12y agoI believe you are talking about a 2.0 high school GPA; so, with that in mind I will explain what you need to do. Assuming you still have one or more years of high school left you will need to start taking probably some more advanced classes such as Honors or AP level courses. And on top of that you need to make time to study. Time management in high school is the key to success. You may also want to join the debate team, or create a Mock Trial Club at your school. With this in mind for high school you may be able to make yourself more appeaaling to colleges and universities. As for now, I would suggest enrolling at a state university. Then after a year or two of pulling perfect grades, you will want to transfer to a private school with top pragrams in English, Government, or Political Science. Check with your state colleges to see if they have programs which will fit that criteria. Then, if you get really good grades and learn great study habits you may get into a law school. You don't have to go to Harvard Law; however, a better law school means a bigger salary. Good luck, and remember the time to start preparing is now!

∙ 13y agoMore than likely, yes. But your options are more limited. You will also have to have a really high LSAT score to make up for the low college GPA.

Most schools do not have an official minimum (some may admit applicants from ivy league schools with 2.1 GPAs) but it is generally recommended to reconsider applying to law school if your GPA is less than a 3.0, although the median GPA for average-to-good school is around a 3.5/3.6 and higher for top law schools. Check with the specific schools you are interested in and see if they have an official minimum. They probably will not.
