My planned graduation date for UG is 2012. If I apply during my senior year, and I need to take an extra quarter (or possibly two?) to graduate, is this sufficient grounds to defer admissions for a year? Or would I have to reapply?
Thanks.

If you apply during senior year and get accepted, that acceptance is conditional upon your graduation before law school starts. So in that case, you would most likely have to reapply.

Would you be going into this knowing that you would have to defer? If so, definitely hold off the application- your degree audit will reflect a graduation date beyond the start of school so there is no fooling the LS. If you are just preparing for the worst (ie- failing a class), then you can apply to defer but it is up to the school to permit the deferral. Chances aren't too good.
Regardless- you can't go into LS without a bachelor's. You need to finish your degree before you can start.
