Is it possible to hire a law student to handle your case? I am looking for law advice but will probably not be able to afford a professional attorney and I didn't know if they had to practice and provided this service.

The short answer is no. Only people who are admitted to practice law in your state (typically that means graduating from law school and passing the bar exam) may advise or represent clients. You may want to contact a law school near you and see if they have a legal clinic. If they do, they may have law students assist you under the supervision of an attorney. Depending on your financial situation, you may be eligible for legal aid, which provides legal advice to people who cannot afford to hire a lawyer.
