<p>I'm starting to ponder career options, and I'm wondering about law. Law seems interesting to me, and I am good at several academic things that law requires you to be good at (reading, writing, creativity, speaking, debate, etc.). However, science really interests me (mostly biology, chemistry, and physics) and I would also like to try to make a career out of that. Can anyone tell me about some different types of law practices that involve science (particularly the three I listed above) and maybe give me a link to a site about different branches of law?</p>
<p>My friend's dad went to UC Davis for engineering, and then went to UC Hastings Law School and is now a lawyer. Specifically, he deals with patents for hi-tech companies. Or, I believe you could become a lawyer for a hi-tech company, helping them with any legal issues they have (this post is sometimes referred to as Chief Counsel). Hope this post helps.</p>
<p>Add to that environmental law, regulatory law (EPA, FDA, etc.), science policy, and many others.</p>
