lawyerpunks-in-training...? [OT?]
This is a fairly big list, and there aren't very many lawyerpunks on it. (And they all seem to be tied up arguing with Choate. :-) For a host of reasons only peripherally related to things like CJ, Jim Bell, my own brief experience running a remailer, et cetera, I've begun to seriously consider law school. If nothing else, it's a great way to defer paying on those student loans for another few years... So, in vaguely-random order: * How does one decide whether law school is what they want to do? In a broader sense, how do you decide whether you want to be a lawyer when you grow up? The lawyers on the list are definitely encouraged to respond. * Is there really a need for technically-inclined lawyers? In my far-from- expert opinion, there seems to be a shortage of them... After I'm done, will I still be able to afford Ramen? (Bear in mind that I have no interest in becoming an ambulance-chaser. Not gonna go there.) * How will my undergraduate studies come back to haunt me? (My overall GPA was good but not great, and my Bachelor's is in computer science, instead of a more traditional prelaw field.) * Recommendations of lawyerpunk-friendly law schools? thanks! ...dave David E.

My father was a physician. That doesn't mean he believed in disease.
