Top Law Schools

Graduated in June and I just recently quit my job. I plan on moving back home with my parents and volunteering/taking it easy. I'm planning on submitting in the next few days so my resume will be current (i.e. showing I am currently not working). Will law schools ask what I'm doing if I'm basically unemployed? The bigger question is, will this be a problem?

Some law schools may inquire into this more, but to strengthen your application you may look into volunteering, being a law clerk, finding an internship, helping a family member with their business, or finding other areas to devote your time. Admissions committees look at several factors such as a student’s GPA, LSAT scores, extra curricular involvements, letters of recommendation, resume/CV and personal statement. Just be sure to have a solid and strong application.

Law Schools are required to publish two and only two stats for the purpose of UNSWR and ABA 509 reporting.

That is your HIGHEST LSAT and your UGPA only. Your best chance of getting into anywhere is to have these two numbers as high as they can be. Look at a schools median of each score through either LSN or on their disclosures. You need to be higher on at least one of those two items median scores to have a good shot of getting in. If you can have both above even better or one above the 75th percentile listed then you can get in with some significant $$ to help fund this incredibly expensive venture.

They will look into other factors, but at the end of the day they have their motives and you yours. As long as you understand what they are doing from an admissions standpoint, maxing median numbers for reporting purposes, then you know what you need to do.

You graduated in June. It's not that big a deal to say you're like "free-lance writing" or something to get by these next few months until law school next year.

OP: The answer to your question is "no".
