well yeah, that's a given, since us lawyers don't have souls
I really don't know if there is that much of a perk, admissions-wise, of working for a law firm while an undergrad. Nor is there necessarily a lot of opportunities for part time work in law firms.
You'd likely be a fileclerk/gopher- grunt work. Benefits would be getting somewhat of a chance to see how a law firm works and see if it might be the sort of thing you'd want to do with your life. Unless you work at a firm where one of the attorneys has some big time pull (i.e. is an adjunct there or donates lots of $$$) at your desired school, I don't think a letter of rec from an attorney will make that much of a difference.
Get your grades and your LSAT up. That's what counts. Some people say it's unfair, blah blah blah, but that's life. Unless you have an exceptional life story, no one gives a isht about the rest.
