What are some viable and effective excuses for a low undergrad GPA on a law school application. Will a full time job all 4 years in undergrad to afford tuition compensate at all for a lower GPA or is taking an excuse into consideration limited to mostly medical/family issues?

I wouldnt make any excuses. I would mention an upward grade trend. I had an LSDAS gpa under 3, but that was the average of two periods: one I had a 0.9 gpa, the other I had a 3.98

is the LSDAS GPA calculated separately and from the sum of all undergrad schools attended?

It's the weighted average of all grades you received from an undergraduate institution upto receiving your first bachelors degree. So, if you transferred from another school, took night class at another school, took college classes in HS, all those grades count, whether or not your degree-granting institution counts them.

Classes taken after receiving a BA, whether as part of an undergraduate degree or not, are not factored into the LSDAS GPA.

at work and too lazy right now too look it up, are there any charges or graduate/test requirements to have before I can see my LSDAS GPA. Can I see it right after I finish my undergrad, or do I have to have completed the LSAT? I could also calculate it out myself but It would be comforting to see exactly what law admissions will be working with.

This seems superfluous to point out, since the CAS report breaks down the GPA by year.

The sadsacks at admissions offices have enough nonsense to sift through without having to go through three beat-around-the-bush paragraphs about why you couldn't get your shit together in college.

Unless it's on account of being black or native american, they don't give a fuck.
