I have been extensively looking into sites that have sample resumes. Once I find more I will post them. Here is a link to one sample resume I have found already:

Sample Law School Resume

It is not the best example, but it should help you for now. I'll be back posting more Law School Resumes in the future.

Do you need an Objective part on a law school resume?

It isn't necessary. You could use it for what you hope to do once you finish law school, but that is somewhat of a stretch. I find that most people have a hard enough time being able to fit everything on one page rather than not having enough experience or education.

No, it is generally accepted that you do not need an objective on your law school resume.

One important ingredient that every applicant should include in a law school resume is a demonstrated ability to solve problems, whether it was in a job or in some other area of life. Interviewers like to see that the applicant knows how to spot a problem, analyze it, and fix it. After all, that is what the student will be doing in law school.

I don't think the objective part is not necessary anymore. You may leave it off.

Good luck!
