Troubleshoot my list of recommenders?

[vesperholly]

I'm a non-trad, 12 years out of undergraduate. I've touched base with a couple of former professors for LOR, but I think I'll get the best letters from post-university references.

They include:
- District court judge (a professional contact who turned into a personal friend)
- English professor/civic organizer (ditto; never took a class from him)
- Newspaper publisher (aka my boss's boss, with whom I have a great professional relationship)
- Managing editor (my boss)
- College professor (probably the weakest letter)

Does that look like a decent list?

The most important thing to remember for LORs and being non-trad is that recommendations MUST discuss specifics about your ability to handle the load.  Two books:  get them ASAP.  They completely changed my ideas on recommenders.  Ann K. Levine's The Law School Admission Game and Anna Ivey's The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions.

Thanks, wendisee; that's a help. I'll check 'em out this weekend.
