I worked full time as a conflict analyst at a large multinational law firm after undergrad. My experience there looks good on paper in a very limited sense. Ultimately, it wasn't worth the sacrifice to my LSAT score. If you have resources available that will allow you to work part-time (i.e. you won't have to worry about food/clothing/shelter), I would suggest just focusing on getting a great score on the LSAT. My husband and a number of my friends are attorneys at large firms. Based on their experience and my own, I would say that getting into a good school and securing a scholarship should be an immediate priority if you want to pursue a legal career. It matters. Sacrificing now for the sake of a good score will yield a number of pivotal benefits/opportunities in the long term.
