 As far as advice for somebody that's either thinking about going to law school or in law school My advice would be to try to get as much practical experience as you can working at a law firm We really find out what the day-to-day work is in the field that you're interested in One thing that I did is while I was still an engineer going to law school at night I worked during the day at a patent law firm And that's when I really fell in love with patent law and protecting ideas and inventions Because I think law school is nothing like the actual practice of law So I wouldn't base your career decision something that that's so important just based on law school itself You have to get practical experience do a clerkship an internship To see what it's actually like practicing in the field that you think you're interested in
