If you're serious about law school, apply for the June LSAT. I studied for only 6 weeks and got a 157 or something on mine - I'm sure you can do a lot better.
I have no desire to work 80 hour weeks - so am looking at other options. I will not work in a firm :-)
A few ideas I have are working for the int'l human rights organization in Ft. Lauderdale or teaching at a college. I may also apply to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission - they investigate cases of employment discrimination (like the recent Wal-Mart ones) and take the cases all the way up through the fedearl court system. It sounds exciting, challenging, prestigious, yet excellent for the community, while not being a firm job AND being a GOOD, stable salary with execllent benefits.
Whatever I do, on the side I will write. I will use my pen to try to change the minds of judges and legislatures. :-)
If you're seriously interested, two schools you should consider: FIU and FAMU. Both are brand new, public universities so are more apt to give full scholarships. FIU is geared more toward getting more LAtin Americans into law, and FAMU (in Orlando) is more focused on African Americans.
That said, I'd love to have you around here so we could chill and study together!!! ;-) I could also help you out a lot and such. :-)
Here's the website to FIU: law.fiu.edu
The other good thing about these two are that b/c they are new, they will make concessions. For instance, if you apply and then tell them your LSAT scores will be along as soon as they are out, they'll be fine with it, I'm sure.
