would it still be a waste of time if I study it?

Ironically, the law has nothing to do with the LSAT. And studying anything that involves the methods of reasoning & thinking that are involved in the LSAT won't hurt you. If you are only spending a (very) minimal amount of money and are not going to take a course. I suggest you buy "Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT Preptests" you can get it fairly cheap on the internet. It is past LSATs and is the most helpful thing you will have by far (there are 2 earlier editions of this book but the most recent is the best... for obvious reasons). The Powerscore Bibles are very helpful but can be pricey. I suggest you get the first book I suggested & take one timed test to see where you're at, if you're near your target score then just read the book you have and it will help at least some, but if you aren't close then I would suggest getting a newer book.

LSAT isn't about law per se, more about critical thinking and reasoning and logic.
I'm sure it couldn't hurt to use the book, but in 14 years, I'm sure lots has changed on the LSAT.
ie. I took the GMAT in 1995. Everything was hand written.
Now, the test is computerized.
*Edit*
It can't hurt to study it, but, definitely get yourself one study guide that is up to date, as the poster suggests below. Here's why - You want to be absolutely familiar with the format of the questions & sections. I took a Kaplan course to prep for the GMAT. They drilled the format of the questions into your head. Why? Because when it came time to take the actual test, you don't want to waste precious time reading the instructions for each section. Different sections have different formats and instructions. You need to be able to open the test booklet and immediately start reading the first question without trying to figure out what the instructions are.
Good Luck!

Be aware that history could have changed some of the answers since that printing (Clinton isn't President anymore; 9-11 hadn't happened, etc.), but there is nothing wrong with getting comfortable with anwering questions in that format.
Practice makes perfect and all that jazz...but keep on learning and you'll be OK with the current year's test.
