| An interesting article, indeed. But you still need to go to a Law school to become a “ patent lawyer” . A good family friend just became a patent lawyer (HLS) after he got an engineering degree from Stanford. According to his mom, he makes a good living.
FWIW, a bit of information about law schools follow.
As you know, there are top 3 law schools in this country, AKA the trinity. They are:
1. YLS
2. HLS
3. SLS
All these schools are great in all areas of jurisprudence. They, however, have some distinct characteristics that you should know; for example, if you want a “clerkship”, YLS is the one. If you want to become a corporate lawyer, HLS would be a wiser choice. If you want to involve with new technology, patent, enterprise stuff like that , SLS would be an excellente choice. But again, like I said, you should be thankful if you got admitted any of the three. |
