I'm presuming you are in USA....its not in your profile, but I'm guessing.
The big USA internations, and I presume large national or regional firms might too, offer work experience, often arranged through universities. This work gives you an insight to real life in a firm, and is often paid. If you find out if your university has such a scheme you might be able to get a placement in another state, or even country. For example, I've been on the commitee of my husband works to choose fun freetime stuff for some law students from a NY university to do in their two months in Milan and Rome this summer. Weekdays they'll work,most weekends the firms will arrange outings. Meanwhile the oppertunity to explore another country and research your interests in your freetime exists. For example, if one of the stdents that comes here this year has an interest in food, my guess is they will visit the food markets and eat out at different restaurants as much as possible, so that when they talk about how the Italians approach food and cooking they really know!
Talk to career guidance or a law tutor at your place of study and find out if similar scheme are in place. I believe the USA term might be, Summer Associate programmes, but I'm not sure I'm afraid.
