The forum will go over:
* What law schools are best for you?
* How does the admission process work?
* What is the best way to prepare for the LSAT?
* How can you finance your legal education?
* What law school opportunities are available for members of minority groups?

To give you a short answer for every question:

1. Start preparing for the LSAT as soon as possible and take it as soon as you feel ready.
The law school may average all of your scores, but they will see all of it. So ONLY TAKE IT if you feel ready for it.

2. Register for LSAT is as easy as logging on to os.lsac.org - the LSAC website

3. Regarding which law schools you should apply to, it really depends on your financial status, your location, and your GPA/LSAT. So after you take your LSAT, talk to
a pre-law advisor

4. Preparing for LSAT:

Private tutoring, if reasonably priced, might be a good way
to go. Always study with critical thinking by constantly asking yourself
"What is this saying?" "What does that mean? What are the implications
of that?"

I recommend all of GetPrepped materials for homestudy.
Kaplan is not bad.

TestSherpa is an online prep course that is free (not as detailed)
PowerScore (I don't recommend)

You have to study with actual tests. GetPrepped has published detailed
answers to past LSATs. There are two books that correspond to the two
books of tests that LSAC publishes. You can find all this stuff on Amazon or even Ebay.

LSAC also publishes a book of tests that start with test #7 - I read online that
the tests in this book are too old to be realistic.

Good luck and if you have more questions, please post it and I will try my best to answer it.
