Are you real?
If you are real, you should probably not go to law school. Your English is terrible, and lawyers spend a lot of time reading and writing. A low GPA limits your options as to which law schools you can get into. A very high LSAT score can help to some extent. If your posts on this forum are reflective of your language abilities, a very high LSAT score seems unlikely for you.
If you are not real, keep on doing what you're doing I guess.

Your first post looks like trolling but from this post, it seems you are for real.
Go to a law school in a language you are better at dude. If you are better at none than this, forget law school.

Law schools use your undergrad GPA, grades earned before the award of your first BA, as the GPA that they consider in your application. So if you've finished your undergrad degree, that GPA is set. Doing well in postgraduate work helps a tiny bit, because it shows that you can succeed academically, but the undergrad GPA is what really counts.
However, if your degree is bit from the U.S. or Canada, schools won't look at the specific GPA - you will get a label of "superior" or "above average" or "average", and your LSAT score will take on even greater weight.
