Include M.S. Coursework on Resume?

I completed two semesters of a Masters Degree in Biology, cell and molecular concentration, prior to law school. Biotech major undergrad. During the M.S., I discovered that biology wasn't what I wanted to do, and I didn't finish. I went on to attend law school instead.

The 2 years of legal experience I have since law school, after a judicial clerkship, has been in commercial litigation, PI litigation and bankruptcy. I am starting a job search for an position closer to home. I am aiming for a commercial litigation position, possibly corporate law.

Should I include "Coursework towards M.S. in Biology" on my resume or leave it off?

Ehh. Only if you're applying to IP type jobs. It's really irrelevant to corporate work. I'd leave it off.
