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.

You remind me of Mr. Brooks from the Paper Chase... :)

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.

There really is no such thing as "Internet Law" - at leaset in a practical sense on its own. The Internet touches many areas of law (contracts, civil procedure, torts, property, etc.). In an academic setting, there is certainly a lot fo scholarly work going on. Having a good grip on technology is a powerful combination with a law degree. I am going into the civil arena with some added government-related and transactional work thrown in. I might dabble in some I/P related stuff, but quite honestly, I am somewhat turned off by it all.

If you do decide to go after a JD, I think you will find that what you go into it thinking, you end up leaving it doing something else.

One thing is for sure, it will change you. In particular, it will make you a better thinker. I am sure I will catch flack for this, but law school has made me a better critical thinker. I am sure there are some naysayers here - but what do you expect. Seriously though, look at the bio's of the most successful people in business. An unusual amount of these people have law degrees.

Rent the Paper Chase and read One L by Scott Turow, those two resources will give you a sense of what law school is like.

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

Cocky.... you will need that...

OK then, Best Wishes...
