I been struggling to find a job and I been out of work for almost a year. Due to this will this hinder me from getting into law school even if my lsat and gpa is good? or will other factors play a role such as past jobs, extracurricular activities, personal statement, internship etc? Cause someone told me I wont get into a law school if I dont have a job :(

I don't think its as concrete as "no job, no law school" but I definitely think you need to be doing something during your time or have a reason for doing nothing... long breaks with no addendum or mention in your personal statement can hurt your application.
Thank you! Yes I am currently retaking the lsat. I been studying for this whole year. I also completed an internship at the DA office this summer as well! I am including my reasons in my diversity statement!
Sounds great! Looks like you're all set then.

It's definitely not true that you won't get into law school if you don't have a job. If you have over a year's gap they'd expect an addendum to explain what you're doing, but you could also try to incorporate that somewhere in your application essays.
Thank you! Yes I am incorporating this into my diversity statement!
