EE/CS major at top ugrad
4 years WE as engineer
2 years WE at IP law firm as patent agent

What do you think my chances are of getting into a T14? Plan is to go into patent law (in case you didn't see that coming). Thanks!

Why do you think you want to be a lawyer?

This is a rare case where I think sitting out a year is pretty harmful. Losing a year of income as a patent lawyer is a $100,000+ mistake. Go to a decent regional with some money in the area you want to practice. Patent lawyers are kind of immune to the lawyer recession.

Pretty low chance of getting T14, but you really shouldn't need it. COuldn't hurt to take another stab at the LSAT and see what happens though.

lol that is the only reason I can think of (it is for me as a patent attorney) why someone would look at patents the rest of their lives.
