Not OP, but I am a lawyer.

Start taking practice LSATs, and learn how to think in the way the questions are set up, logically and analytically. A huge problem in the legal field right now is employment out of law school. It's harder now than ever to get a job out of law school, unless you manage to get into a tier one school. As such, your LSAT score is pivotal.

Also see if your public defenders office has any internships available, most do because they really need all the help they can get. I did this for a bit and its looks great on your application to law school as well as your resume later on.
