Part time law

I touched on this a little bit a while back and got some good answers, but I'm looking at this again. So my question is: how realistic is part time law *coming out of law school*? Are there any employers that hire "real" lawyers part time? How much will your practice hurt? What areas might part time law be more doable (for example, my general inclination is that family law is more doable part time)? Anything else someone thinking about part time law should know?

Why do you think the answers will be different this time around? Is there any change in your situation or plans regarding "part time law work"?

maybe man. its going to be an uphill battle regardless to find part time work regardless of the industry. im assuming you get a free education under the GI bill, so you might as well do law if you have any interest in being a lawyer.
employer's cant discriminate on your status, and once you're in the door you can work part time if its a reasonable accomodation (which it sounds like it is). govt, biglaw, in house, will all probably work with you a bit once you get in the door. you can also open a solo shop and take on the amount of work you want.
if law is something you want to do, and you arent expecting to get rich off of it, id go.
