I’m not asking for details, but you need to ask yourself, after what you’ve been through-why do you want to go to law school, exactly? It’s an expensive proposition and it will take three years after college. If you’ve got a good answer for that question, don’t worry too much about your specific classes, as law schools pretty much only require that you have a Bachelor’s, rather than requiring specific courses. If I’m reading your post correctly, you’re at Michigan, a very well regarded school, so no worries there. You will want to do well on your LSAT to be competitive.
Regarding ECs, here on CC there is a divergence of opinion as to what they are worth on your law school app. At a minimum I’d suggest you participate in something that would help give you a sense of what a lawyer actually does. It’s not like on TV.
So GPA/LSAT are very important, and get some sort of experience with what lawyers do.
