I went to a software training course recently and talked with a degreed engineer who went the internship route after college. After 4 months he was offered a job and after two more he transferred into the department he wanted. I know that may not be the case in your field, but I was surprised that the market is creating this type atmosphere.

What areas of law are you interested in? More importantly, what areas could you see yourself practicing?
What about looking for an ADA job? Around here, seems like there's always high turnover in that position -- not great money but a good way to get familiar with the criminal defense system in practice and make some connections. I assume the market is about the same in Bama.
ETA: Also, consider taking another bar exam, maybe GA or FL. FL in particular is a big state with a diverse legal market and the bar admission req's are more demanding than almost everywhere else. If at any point you could see yourself practicing in FL, now might be a great time to sit for the bar (much easier when you're right out of school than 10 or 20 years down the road).
