Specializing in Law School
I know that one does not specialize in law school, but how is one supposed to know much of anything about their field once he graduates? I want to be a patent lawyer, but wouldn't only a few of the classes I would take pertain to patent law? How am I supposed to know how to be a patent lawyer without specific training in the field? Does anyone who has attended law school know how this works? Thanks!

Re: Specializing in Law School
You learn during your summer internships and once you graduate. Law school teaches you to think like a lawyer, working as a lawyer teaches you to be a lawyer.qualski wrote:I know that one does not specialize in law school, but how is one supposed to know much of anything about their field once he graduates?
