Hey all,
I had a question that doesn't seem to have been answered anywhere else around the site.
I am interested in doing a military commission immediately after UG that would probably last 3-4 years. Aside from that, I have an interest in going to law school (pref. T-14, no higher than 20, and I think I am in an academic place to have a good shot at it) and getting a job in biglaw.
My question is, if I were to serve in the military before going to law school, would this place me out of range for getting a job in biglaw? I'm sure military service would be a good soft and would help me get into law school, and I know 25-26 isn't too old to go to law school, but I'm mostly concerned with being able to get a solid job afterwards. Thanks for any help ahead of time.
Also I don't know if this is in the proper forum, so feel free to redirect me if it would be more appropriate elsewhere.
Thanks,
Jethro

I don't think you should worry at all about your age precluding you from employment opportunities if you will be starting at age 25-26.

If you are concerned about age, keep in mind that you might not be able to get out after your commitment due to Stop Loss.

Interested in this as well. I would be 26 or 27 when beginning law school, so I would graduate at 29 or 30. How old is too old for biglaw?Jethromoney wrote:Hey all,
