My ug from Pitt '99 and I have an MBA from Duquesne '01. My gpa in b school, 10 years ago was 3.6 I started in the mortgage industry due to lack of jobs in the finance field after 9/11. I ended up owning a nationally licensed mortgage company(one of the few honest ones) but was regulated out of business by the states we received most of our business from. I work for while for a small financial planning firm I was in the process of buying but the deal fell through. I then worked for a sales consulting/training company. I left there to work for a start up currency trading fund. It ended up failing due to the partner who was in charge of running the business developing cancer and stepping away.
I have taken a several law related classes.
Advanced estate planning - Duq law - B+ - no idea what I was getting into...can't believe they let an MBA student take it
Contract Law - Duq B school - A, highest grade in class
Criminal procedure - Pitt ug - A
Constitional Law type class - Pitt ug - A
I am applying to Pitt and Duquesne. Does all/some of this not matter, help, or hurt my chances at getting into to Law school. I haven't taken my LSATs.

The "several law related classes" probably won't matter (read: won't matter). Business experiences are great soft's and are helpful. But take that LSAT.

Your extensive business experience should make you an attractive candidate to many law schools. The courses do not matter, however.
