How heavily is undergrad or grad coursework weighed by firms? Is it like IP?
Is an undergrad major in bio/public health enough to be considered for life sciences practice? Or is graduate work necessary?

Re: Life Sciences Practice
It depends on the firm. At my firm, associates are not required to have had formal training in bio/pubic health. However, most of the work that we do (at least in my office) is revolved around mass torts/products liability issues so there isn't a pressing need for bio/etc.

Re: Life Sciences Practice
"Life sciences" is a bit vague, but if you mean doing corporate work for life science companies, you're fine without any science training (I'm a mid-level doing that kind of work and I was a liberal arts major).
IP might be different (and no idea how lot works), though even then I know life sciences licensing associates without special course work either.
