Letter of Recommendation for Law School? Who to ask?

Graduate School Law School

<p>Hi,
I'm applying to law school this fall (well hopefully earlier, but I'm taking the LSAT in October as I was abroad in England this past semester) and I know one of the criteria for law school applications is a letter of recommendation from a professor. Now I know some college departments have a small number of students so they get to know professors on a 1-to-1 basis or if they're talkative or like to ask questions they also get to know professors really well. I tend to have classes with 600 people (max.) or 100 people (min.) and the only people I get to know decently is my TAs. Unfortunately I haven't asked any and I'm afraid they probably won't remember me now (esp. since I was away this past semester).
Who should I ask to write the letter? A past professor or a new one I get in the fall and try to get them to know me as much as possible? Has anyone else had this problem? For professors that you don't know that well but have done well in their classes, can you go up to them and ask them for letters and will they usually ask you some questions about what you like, etc.?</p>

<p>A long question, but if anyone has answers or can relieve my stress, Thanks!!</p>

<p>Just ask professors whose classes you did well in. You should do this as soon as you can next semester because you don’t want it holding up your applications. There’s no time to develop a relationship with a new professor and have them write a recommendation. These count for almost nothing, so don’t worry so much about them.</p>
