Unless you have a really unique circumstance, it's pretty much all GPA and LSAT. Extra stuff can't hurt, but it doesn't always help.

Agreed. LSAT and grades are pretty much all that matters. If you are borderline to a school's desired numbers, they may consider other stuff. But usually that's, as GP says, unique circumstances- like a life-changing illness, taking care of your orphaned brothers and sisters, etc.
There are a ton of websites out there that talk about law school.
But I think before you get into this whole thing, it's best to figure out if it's something you want to do. There's a TON of people going to law school right now. The economy sucks, therefore the job market sucks, and there is an absolute glut of new attorneys everywhere.
