For example, the skills I have listed include the programming languages and software that I am familiar with. So my question to the STEM majors who have applied to law school is
What changes, if any, did you make to your resumes to send in your law school applications?
Also, are there any particular tips you might have with regards to formatting or content?
Drop your objectives/summary section (if you have one). Drop your technical skills section. Add an interests section at end (~1 line). Expand on the rest to make it fill the lost space.

Thought just crossed my mind: if you have published papers/patents, I would leave them on there (even though you're not submitting a technical resume).

Side-note in case you're interested in IP: once you're admitted and start sending your resume to firms, you might think about putting the programming languages back on somewhere towards the bottom in a 'skills' section. That's something some IP practices value.
