I am looking for advice to go to a local Law School (one of top 50 by
Us News) that started a part time program recently. I am 40 years old
with 10+ years experience in IT and am making 100K now, but I have
been thinking about to become a lawyer. Considering my science and
engineering backgroud, I would like to be a patent lawyer.
I still have some concerns about the prospect and need your advice. 1.
I will continue my current full time job, and will have no time to do
interniship in summer, which means that I will have no law practice
experience before I finish my JD program. I heard that no law firm
would give an offer to a no law practice graduate. 2. I am old,
although I have 10+ years experience in IT, at least, one partener of
a law firm said in web that these experience would not add anything
when he was considering hiring, and actually, he would rather hire a
no experience, but young graduate who is from college to law school
directly, because young person would working longer years for the firm
after firm's initial investment.
Your suggestion or success story is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Have you even had to analyse something with/against a 'law-person' ?
They are a completely different species.
I've yet to find one who can build a STRING of deductions longer than
one step. They think in terms of "phrase matching".
I.e. are limited a single step dedution: like women.
Do you know/acknowledge the left-brain vs. right-brain mentality
division of humanity ?
Working with eg. women on a superficial or 'arms-length' or
acknowledging the difference is OK; but if you try to pretend that
they have the same mentality as men, it's a disaster.
So if you've a 'scientifically minded person' and been practicing as
such, you might go mad 'pretending' to fit the absurd 'legal-mentality'.
On the other hand eg. a homosexual my prevent 'going mad', by
finally accepting/admitting his true nature.
OTOH since patent lawyers need to dance in both camps, they must
have special skills ?
