Just see if you can take out $1500-2000 in loans.
Far too much rides on 1L grades to stretch yourself thin with working. Treat your classes like your job.

It can be done. I've known those who did well while working part time.
I wouldn't risk it.

Also, you can't work more than 20 hours a week and some schools make you agree to not work at all.

working (unless you are getting relevant experience and/or resume booster) is not worth it in LS. loan that shit.
*(of course obvious exceptions apply - like if you can be an iBankers PT then do it... ).
That being said, I may do an unpaid legal internship like 5-10 hours a week just to get experience and volunteer.
