My brother says that he can get me a LOR from a member of the Texas State Legislature who is an alum of the law school I am applying to. Sounds good but I have never met the guy and I don't know that a letter from a person that doesn't know me, regardless of his position, would be helpful to me.

Any thoughts on this?

It won't be helpful. LOR writers have to know you.

+1.

Adcomms would rather read something from someone who can actually speak to your abilities than some generic recommendation

That's what I figured. Thanks for the input everyone!
