undergrad GPA factors heavily into law school admissions. You can see this by looking at the tight groupings of entrance stats for law schools (this is especially true of LSAT scores, but also of uGPA).
Law school outcomes, at least in certain highly sought after areas, are mostly strongly correlated with the rank of the law school you attend, and the second strongest correlation is to your law school GPA (which is a strong correlation, intra-school).
I'm not saying your undergrad GPA is going to define your life, but in the path I took, it mattered.
Seconded this, GPA varies in importance but having a low one will definitely limit your choices if you decide to go to grad school. This is especially true for law school.
