- Hi, I've been reading this list for a few months and figured that I'd
- throw out a few questions regarding Law School.
- I received my Ph.D. a couple of years ago and am currently a
- postdoctoral fellow. Seeing that there is a dirth of academic
- positions and funding that is available,I have been thinking of
- applying my degree to the field of Biotech patent law. I have
- read some of the discussions on taking the patent bar exam and
- have gathered the information based on these posts from this list.
- I plan on taking the patent bar exam in the fall and I am in the process
- of contacting some patent firms in the Boston area (anyone have leads
- on particular firms to get in touch with?) for employment.
- I also want to obtain my JD degree on a part time basis. There are 3 schools
- that offer this type of program in the Boston/RI area,
- New England School of Law, Suffolk and Roger Williams Law School.
- How important is the reputation of the school for future employment?
- What is like to work full-time and go to school part-time?
- When does one decide on the particular branch of Law that he/she would
- like to enter? Right now I am leaning towards patent law but I also find
- enviromental law quite interesting, especially with my science background,
- and the new administration in office.
- I'd appreciate any information on any of these questions including any
- advice or suggestions.
-
- Thanks,
- Dave
