<p>I don’t see any experience in your resume working with a law firm so I am concerned your passion is for something other than the practice of law. A lot of people go into law school like this and it makes for some extremely unhappy people. It’s really easy to idealize law, but that idealization is basically nothing like how law works on a day to day basis. I don’t say this to dissuade you from your goal but rather to make sure what you think you are pursuing is what you are actually pursuing.</p>
<p>As to working for the legislature, those kinds of jobs do exist but they are not common. Going to law school solely for this purpose is an extremely bad idea unless you are extremely well funded. The simple fact of the matter is that the only good reason to go to law school is to be a lawyer. The odds are just too stacked against any of the other jobs. </p>
<p>If you are interested in a broader array of legal work then law school may be a better bet. A general focus on government work could help, but I think a lot of that will only be open to US citizens. I know a lot of the Congressman/Senators that advertise positions at my school have high preference for those who come from their state, and I can’t imagine they’d jump at a non-US citizen. I would do a good bit of research on the available government work and its requirements. </p>
<p>As to the LSAT, a 168 is a very respectable score. I would advise you to get that at least up to 170 on a real LSAT. With a 9.6/10 and a 170 or better, law school can be made much more attractive.</p>
