For anyone considering applying for law schools: it’s not as hard as you think it is. But also it does take a hefty amount of effort and work for you to “excel” in it and not feel like a drowning cat. Especially considering how esoteric legal jargon is. But ain’t it just like every field of work? Rule of thumb: it is for you if after enduring the long hours of drilling law reports and books and still feel motivated. At least that’s how I figured out

As a CS major who went to law school, there are also specific degrees that qualify more easily for the patent bar, and specific schools that qualify for specific programs.

@Zarsla 3 ай бұрын

I've honestly though about law school as a CS Major. Is a patent lawyer worth it?

@-Good4Y0u 3 ай бұрын

@Zarsla my advice to most people is don't go to law school unless it's free or you absolutely 100% know you want to practice law. For a CS major it's not really a great opportunity, especially not compared to tech. I probably would put the effort into that. The comparable pay for an attorney is about the same or less than as a tech software engineer, but the hours are less. Big law attorneys make less than a staff engineer, and often a sr engineer, at a tech company. Which means (after factoring cost and hours worked) that tech for a CS major is a better bet. Plus patents can get a bit boring if you're not into it, so before doing anything I'd probably look into being a patent agent and learn what the process is about. That doesn't require going to law school.

The one thing I always wish someone would have said to me is "You don't have to be a trial lawyer." Because that's the impression TV gives, and while I considered it, I never thought I was fast enough on my feet in terms of speaking to actually be a trial lawyer, and so I was discouraged. There are whole branches of law where it's mostly just you and your paperwork, and you check over other people's paperwork and do research. It's just not as flashy as trial work to be put on television.

@jenniferhanses 3 ай бұрын

@@melker617 I don't know about your country, but a lot of family law is pre-nups, post-nups, and wills, which all deal with long term financial planning. There's also real estate law, where you go and verify who owns a property to be sold and that all the paperwork meets the standards. I don't think either of those ever really go to trial. There's also bankruptcy law, which I'm more familiar with because I have heard it in trial (I am a legal transcriptionist), but I think that branch might also have research lawyers. I also have a friend who is a legal librarian (works at a big firm helping them do their research).

@leullakew9579 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, that’s the one reason why I’m afraid of applying to law school (and especially why I hadn’t even tried thinking about law school as a post-undergrad path). Basically, the only thing about the legal field I knew of through pop culture, and the ones my peers in college strived to get into were criminal defense, trial lawyer work (generic litigation proper), civil rights/civil liberties, family/divorce, personal injury, and national security law - basically all the legal practice areas I don’t ever want to work in. Then I found out about legal practice areas that I find interesting like Regulatory Law and Compliance, Business and Finance Law (Securities, M&A), Energy and Environmental Law, Qui tam, In-House Counsel/Corporate Counsel, and Estate Law (Trust, Wills, and Estates), among other similar practice areas; but I’m afraid I can’t get any of these jobs unless I get into a top law school and get into Big Law because no-to-barley-any Small Law Firms work in these practices areas and I’d rather work as a non-lawyer in adjacent fields than work as a lawyer in a practice area that I’m completely disinterested in.

Also consider what the actual work is like. Classes for most degrees arent really a good example of what the actual work is going to be like. Interning at a lawfirm or courthouse will probably give you decent insights. Then you can also talk to actual lawyers rather than just law students. I just know that i dont actually enjoy the school part of my degree, but I love the actual job. Early childhood education, kinda. Not in the US, I work in daycare, age 3-6.

When i was in highschool they started a program called, "Teen court" and it was ran by all teens except for the judge. Thats was an attorney that volunteered their time. We had real defendants, teens who had plead guilty to their crime but came to our court to have their sentence argued out. I was prosecution my junior year and then D.A. my senior year. I almost seriously considered becoming a lawyer. Had the adults of the group backing me up and willing to write letters. I ended up with an A.A. and working in clerical. I enjoy it but i often wonder what my life would've been like had I studied law.

I loved law school and don’t regret going one bit although I didn’t enjoy the practice of law as much and after having a life changing event about 4 1/2 years into practice I found there were more enjoyable things to do with my time while making money. I will say that philosophy and math majors typically preform stronger on LSAT which only really matters in helping you get into law school of your choice. A good law school will also help you in passing the bar. I think that combined with my philosophy background helped in passing bar without paying extra for bar prep courses.

As a recent retiree, I was not ready to relax and take up knitting. I felt like I still had a great deal to contribute, but I didn't want to rack up huge debt at my age. So I registered for a correspondence course through American Institute of Law and I am LOVING IT! This is the law school of the future for the 95% of lawyers who don't aspire to join a big law firm! No crushing debt means I can charge my future clients less and I don't have to take every case that walks through the door! The course content is clear and concise and there is no energy spent hurrying to classes or memorizing specific cases. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Here are 2 reasons why you should become a lawyer: 1) Nobody f**ks with lawyers! Most of the harassment I have endured in my life would NOT have happened if I was a lawyer, and 2) lawyers can right the wrongs of the world... I was an activist for decades -- never got a fraction accomplished of what I did after I started filing lawsuits!

Some states are looking at doing away with the bar altogether and instead having folks looking to be a lawyer do a mentorship under a lawyer in the field of law they're interested in. After a period of time (4 or 5 years?), their body of work is reviewed to determine whether they have satisfied the requirements needed to be certified as a lawyer in that field. In a way, this makes more sense than having to pass the bar since you are immersed in the field of law you want to specialize in. Michigan is one state that was considering this, and I think Washington? or maybe Oregon was another.

My late BFF had a younger brother that went to law school. He told me that he needed the carrot of becoming a lawyer to survive the stick of that first year. It was even more difficult for him since he came out of a liberal arts college. He mentioned that the engineers were appearing more relaxed. I explained how I as an engineering degree graduate was more regimented, formulaic, and systematic, in how to approach problems. I walked him through how our minds approach problems, learning, and memorizing completely different than how he had been trained. He was a pretty smart guy, so with those adjustments in mind, he updated me that it was definitely easier after our talk. He went on to graduate, pass the bar, and work on the corporate side. He banked; but he wanted out. He became a high school teacher, kept advancing, and eventually became a principal of that high school. He doesn't practice law for clients anymore; but the knowledge, skills, and experience in that industry definitely helped him in his later career. For me...I couldn't see myself as a lawyer, so I avoided that first year stress and expense. 😂

Of that half, half of them aren’t even going to be admitted lawyers, which is fine, if you have A LOT of money. Otherwise, if you don’t want to be an admitted lawyer, think long and hard whether its worth it to go into debt for a really long law degree just to then go into consulting or banking or auditing.

Been practicing law for over 20 years. I am not even a lawyer! Never went to law school. I do both criminal and civil! Won over 90% of my cases! How did I do this?

Wrong answer! Keep guessing! Hint, in 20 years I have had estimate 20 cases! So I only average 1 case a year. Figure it out yet?

Why is law school 3 years now instead of 2? Is there more law to learn or have they stretched out a 2 year program over 3 years to make it easier on students. They stopped having 3 hour lectures in medical school because the students couldn’t concentrate for that long. Is it the same for law students?

When seeking advice speak to successful people. When learning what to avoid, ask for advice from people who are not successful.

Surprised you could get any major though. I got a B.S. so I’ll start devoting my life towards helping the big stay at the top and the little guys sell out!
