Top Law Schools

I’ve been out of law school for about two years. I’m thinking of a career change in the next year or so which requires full time schooling. I’d like to try to find some part-time work during this time. I’ve been in-house this whole time so I have no contacts built up in the legal community. Anyone have any advice on finding part-time legal work with a flexible schedule? Or would it be feasible to hang my shingle and do some solo work? Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts.
