Top Law Schools

I'm a recent grad, currently working full time in a large technology/business firm i.e. client work, engineering, etc.

I have a 3.367 GPA, double major (engineering + business) from a top school.

I'm planning on taking the lsat in dec and expect to score around 167-171 hopefully (based upon my current prep).

That being said, looking at my situation pessimistically, if I don't get into a T-14 how difficult would it be to obtain a technology law position given my background?

I'm going through OCI right now at a T-25.

The outcome will largely depend on your law school grades. If you don't have good law school grades, but have IP/patents related work experience, you should still be ok. An engineering degree by itself will be somewhat of a boost in that you can apply to firms that require a technical degree. But if you have poor law school grades and no prior IP experience, then you will probably be SOL.

Also: a good LSAT will not guarantee good law school grades. Especially for engineers.

What constitutes past ip patent work?

So simply doing engineering and business related work is not enough.

How is the job security situation doing such work in house or at a firm?, assuming most people don't make partner?
