What type of law do you want to practice? Where do you want to practice?

You aren't giving people enough information here.

Something related to the UN/ ICC/ etc. I mean I don't have to know everything three years earlier but intl human rights related is the general path I'm on.
You need Yale to have a decent shot at it, or at least HS.

What is your backup?

Study a language and get a master's in political science/IR for free. You'll be many times more likely to work for an NGO (albeit not as an atty), and you'll have zero debt if it doesn't work out.

No way this isn't flame. Reevaluate your career goals if it is not flame.
