Suppercuricculars for law?

I've entered some essay competitions, signed up for an online course, read a couple books and court cases but I feel like everything I'm doing is exactly what everyone else is. Do you have any recommendations that could help me stand out a bit? Thank you!!
It's not about what you do, it's about how you reflect on it and analyse it that makes you stand out. You could read the most basic thing that every other law student has read, but write a very thoughtful analysis and reflection on it, which will stand out much more than someone who read some really obscure arcane thing but simply stated they did it with little more thought put into it.l

I also did all of those things and honestly as long as you can show your passion for the subject then it will be fine. But if you want some extras I also like physically went to the courts and sat in the public gallery to watch cases and I also did the InvestIN Law Work Experience, which if you can do is really interesting because you learn about like every main field of law and it's great for networking and stuff like that, it is quite expensive though, but definitely would recommend if you can afford it.
