One question before suggestions... would it be possible to apply for the law schools you want now, and then if you don't get in to the ones you want, apply again in a year?

Okay, suggestions:
(practical)
- internship at a law firm
- I'm not sure what it takes, in terms of education, to be a paralegal, or give any sort of legal advice, but something if you have enough education at this point, then something like that
- Volunteering of some kind, preferably something that relates to what kind of law you want to practice. For example, if you want to do environmental law, volunteer for an environmental organization. Real estate law, volunteer/intern at a real estate office.

(exotic)
- Travel the world. My cousin and her boyfriend did that for a year, and had a great time.
- join the Peace Corps, or something like that, where you can go to a far away place and help people
- go skydiving, bungee jumping, or deep sea diving
- create or design something (not quite sure what, but something that interests you)
- If you had a year of your life to do whatever you want, what would you want to do?
