There are tons of books on law school admissions that address your concerns in depth (see 1, 2, 3). There's also r/lawschooladmissions. And then there's the granddaddy of them all, http://top-law-schools.com. I spent so much time reading the books I linked and on TLS, it was crazy. But it paid off.
As a second-year law student, and a guy who threw his heart and soul into the law school application/admission process, I want to offer a few pointers here, maybe lead one person down the right path.
Some highly suggested reading before you start thinking about law school:
I'm not trying to out-and-out discourage you from going to law school. If you actually do research, then find out it's what you really want, go for it. Crush the LSAT out of the park and go somewhere that will guarantee you a job. Do not go to a fourth-tier law school (John Marshall, Florida Coastal, Cooley, etc.) just because they sent you a bunch of marketing materials in the mail with an offer for a free scholarship. These places are the University of Phoenix of law schools. Any law school that has to advertise by mail really isn't worth the price of the (worthless) degree.
Completely agree, though it does depend a bit on the type of URM OP is.
And for a more renowned reference on the URM LSAT boost, Anna Ivey (previously of the University of Chicago admissions) gives a 10 point boost to URM candidates in her book.
