I'm applying for a job as a runner/file clerk at a law firm, but I have no previous work experience?

Question

I'm an accounting student and I want to get a part time job. I've never had a job before and I've done extremely little volunteer work, like not even enough to be worth mentioning on a resume. I do however have great grades and honors/scholarships/awards. I'm also bilingual. Do you think I have a chance even though I don't have any work experience? How can I spruce up my resume? I know it's an entry level job, but I really don't know if they'll give me a chance.

It is a gopher job and requires no experience and no skill except the ability to read and write, file numerically or by alphabet and go out in all weathers to hand deliver documents in hard copy.  Law firms like the snob appeal that hiring really smart college students to do these jobs gives them so depending on your competition your chances are probably pretty good.  Better if you are female and attractive, no one ever said that law firms are not places of chauvinist pig behavior.
