I’m going to law school if after prior experience in IP I find that I’m as passionate about the work as am I the idea. And everyone I’ve talked to, even miserable lawyers, say that if that’s the case after working in a law firm as a patent agent or so before going to law school, then it would be a good idea to go to law school.

I haven’t found an attorney yet that doesn’t say get experience in a law firm before going to law school.

I’ve also heard that the perfect candidates for law school mostly make miserable candidates for law practice. Once you get into BigLaw, it seems your life is over, and only the most ruthless make partner.
