If that's your plan, approach the DA's office ASAP in a state that has a law clerk/apprenticeship program (there may be a few others I did not mention). Then, you might be able to work for them (or a specific attorney there) as your mentor/instructor. If that doesn't work, you just need ANY attorney in a jurisdiction with a law clerk/apprenticeship program.
As long as you follow the rules of the law clerk/apprenticeship program in the jurisdiction, you will be able to sit for the bar exam there. If you pass the exam and meet all the other requirements (e.g., character and fitness), you will be admitted in that jurisdiction. My understanding is that you will not be able to be admitted in another jurisdiction until five years of practicing in your initial jurisdiction (could be wrong, though). But say, for example, you are admitted in NY State. You could work in the Bronx DA's office and then do summers at DOJ. You will be an "unorthodox" candidate because everyone else goes to law school, but if you work hard, whichever attorney or attorneys who are working with you will have your back and you should be able to get the jobs you want.
The best thing you can do in my opinion is read cases and understand the rules (civil/criminal) in whichever jurisdiction you're targeting. When you meet attorneys, they will know that you are serious and will be much more likely to give you a shot. It's really up to you to put in the work ahead of time. If you know the rules and have read boatloads of cases, you will be so far ahead of law students.
Law school is a joke. Hope it works out for you. The world needs attorneys who don't have 200k in debt and come out of law school feeling like they owe a bunch of liberal crooks.
