20. Though it's recommended that you not work at all.

The ABA limits you to 20 hrs/wk, and a few schools have even lower limits.

You'll probably get crushed by the curve if you work

If going part time (which is what, ~ one less class per term?) You can work until you drop from exhaustion.

Correct, which makes no sense at all. Profs have the same demands for PT/evening students, and it is only one less class.
