I am a current sophomore studying political science. Upon graduation, I am planning on going to law school. I am on track to graduate at the end of my junior year (I am done with my political science major end of sophomore year) so I was planning on using my entire junior year to take easy classes and boost my GPA.

I also want to take classes during the summer at my local community college to lessen my credit load for junior year.

My question is:

1. does this plan sound feasible? Should I have a back up plan in case I do not get into a good law school ?

2. should I stay the full four years and take up another major ? (something like business in case I do not get into my desired law school , I can at least apply to a company ?)

3. will taking classes at a community college during the summer affect me negatively when I apply to law school ?

4. what will a law school say when they see I took easy classes my junior year?

I realize this is a lot to ask and a complicate question . But I would really appreciate answers! Thank you!
