>>Excellent. Seeing how the "experts" predict that 3 million I.T. jobs will go overseas by 2010 I was considering law myself. Was thinking of University of California, Berkeley to study Internet Law & such. (http://www.law.berkeley.edu/cenpro/programs/tech.html)

>Advice??? You do know it is a full-time only program at Boalt - right???

Yes.

>That means 3 years - full time study. The ABA forbids full-time law students from working more than 15 hours a week. The restrictions are more intense for 1L's. To get in.... The top score on the LSAT is 180. At Rutgers-Camden, our median LSAT score is 158-162 - and Rutgers is a Tier-2 school (along with the likes of Villanova, Temple). Our school did rank in the top 20 for faculty. In short, to get into law school today - it is HARD. To get into Boalt, you will need to have solid grades from a decent undergraduate institution and likely, at least a 170 on the LSAT. That score would put you in the 97th percentile.

I've always been a 4.0 student and I know a little bit about the LSAT (http://www.lsat-center.com/lsat-page1.html). I would hope to be one of those in the 97th percentile.


>Given the economic conditions of the past 3 years, more people than ever have applied to law school. A typical law school class numbers about 200 people. Unless you can get into at least a Tier 2 school (there are 4 tiers of law schools) - I would not bother going.

I certainly wouldn't waste my time (and a LOT of it) unless I was going to a Tier 1 or 2 school. What I was really wondering is if Internet Law is a good route to go.

>Good luck...

ha..luck has nothing to do with it...but thanks anyway..heh
