I only not long ago graduated from college and I wish to go to law school. However, I did not have the most appropriate GPA for law propagandize so, it was referred to by a law propagandize which I take a year off try and get a little work knowledge at a law firm. I have not nonetheless taken the Lsat’s.

Getting a job as a paralegal or even just a gofer at a law firm might help. It might also be worth going back to school part time while working and pursuing a second BA or a MA in some subject related to law (assuming you can get into a graduate program, but do not despair because in most metropolitan areas there are universities with low admissions requirements for their graduate schools), getting good grades for courses taken in pursuit of the degree.
Remember that admissions standards for law schools vary greatly, and admission to Harvard, NYU or Boalt is much harder than to Seattle University (http://www.law.seattleu.edu ), George Mason University (http://law.gmu.edu ), Appalachian School of law (http://www.asl.edu ) or similar institutions. Your grades may not be adequate for the most prestigious law schools but good enough for others. If you graduate from one of the latter you will probably not clerk for a Supreme Court Justice or work in a white shoe firm in New York, but most lawyers don’t either, no matter where they get their degrees.
Take the LSAT soon, because your score on that may be adequate with your existing degree for admission somewhere.

Some law firms have paid internships. You may also try getting into some paralegal work that will give you the exposure that you desire. Good luck!!
