No, you probably need to have something that is at least a page. Now, it can be short. There's nothing wrong with that, but you also want to look interested in something. So it can certainly be short, but you don't want to have too much fluff on there.
You want to have enough on there that it looks like you're interested in being an attorney or have some experience. But yeah, I honestly don't know that I've ever seen a resume like that; that's less than half a page. It will help if you try to get stuff on there.
Now, if it is only half a page and that's all you have, that may be okay. But I would say you want to try to make your resume a little bit longer than you can.
