Hey guys, I'm new to the forum but I highly advise against omitting any transcripts. I'm not aware of any college that doesn't request transcripts from all schools you attended prior - it's just standard practice. Also, as someone who works with education verification on a daily basis, it takes about two five seconds for them to pull up your entire education history through the National Student Clearinghouse. Your name will be on this database if you ever applied for financial aid.
Also, seeing as how law schools are cut-throat these days, I'm 100% certain they'll verify it. The consequences for omitting transcripts can be pretty severe and could even lead to your dismissal from the college or revocation of a conferred degree. Imagine how painful it'd be for a practicing lawyer to have their license revoked because they technically "lied" on their law school application.
I say acknowledge your previous, less-than-stellar academic record in your admissions app. and smoke the LSAT. Lawyers' careers are built upon reputations - you wouldn't want to compromise that in any way.
