Congrats on really conquering the GMAT and providing a detailed debrief. I am sure your LSAT and Law background helped a great deal in the score. But it does show that commitment & desire can lead one to the right scores. Mine is a 760 and I visualize that result everyday.

That's what they call choking!

To get a 51 on Verbal you have to answer nearly all questions right. On the other hand you can answer 5 questions wrong in the quantitative part and still get a 51. One reason for could be that the verbal part is not increasing its difficultness as much as the quantitative part, because a too hard verbal part may sound more awkward than difficult.

I suddenly have a spark of inspiration. I think I am willing to take bets with people $125 at a time. If they score < 45 in verbal I keep $125 and if they get > 45 I double their money for them. This is of course a service and favour I am doing because I clearly put upto $125 of my own at risk & at the same time give someone the added motivation to go ahead and score well in the paper. Win Win for them !! Of course, no lawyers allowed to participate, coz (a) apparently they always get v > 45 and (b) I am sure they'll find a way not to pay me.
