I am a full-time law student, but I work as a research assistant for a professor and part-time during the season as a high school basketball official.

I received the RA job -- which isn't really a "job," but close enough -- as part of my scholarship. I help my professor out with a project (in my case, a habeas corpus petition for a criminal conviction) and receive a regular stipend in return. It's not much, but it does cover rent.

The basketball gig I got just from signing up, going through training, and doing well enough that I get as many assignments as I can handle.

This summer I hope to work for a civil law firm as a paid legal intern.
