The first thing that you should know is that students who do well on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) usually tend to do better in law school because they are logical thinkers. However, it has been reflected time and time again that students with lower LSAT scores can still perfectly master law school. It all comes down to how much you want to succeed, and how hard you are willing to work for what you want. Don't let a low LSAT score stop you from going to law school.
If you have a low LSAT score, you will need to plan your law school admission strategy very carefully. Make sure that your GPA is outstanding (3.8 & above). A low LSAT score + a low GPA = 0 chance at law school admission. The good thing about this is you have complete control over your GPA - endeavor to do well in all of your classes (A's & B's)
Go to the LSAT website and utilize the GPA & LSAT analyzer tool to find out which law schools will take you with a low LSAT score. If you don't know how to do this, you should read the article titled "How to find Law Schools who will Accept Low LSAT Scores."
Have an English professor take a look at your LSAC personal statement. Get a second opinion from another English professor, and then institute the changes they have suggested. Have them look at your personal statement after you have made the suggested revisions.

DO NOT rely on law school admissions advice from anyone unless they are law school admissions personnel, LSAC personnel or someone who has actually gained admittance to law school at one point or another. Smile, nod, and ignore the rest.
Target the professors that you would like to utilize to write your law school references. Work really hard for them and show them your worth. Make sure that you ASK them what they think of your academic performance before you ask them to write the letter of recommendation. You would be surprised at the amount of people who ask a professor to write a letter or recommendation only to have a letter of "no confidence" written.
Volunteer at a local legal aid clinic and work extremely hard therein. Get to know the lawyers who work/volunteer there as well and ask to be mentored. Ask that lawyer to write a letter of recommendation for you after you have been with the organization for some time. Don't forget to ask for their opinion before you ask them to write the letter,
