thinking about law school

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>So I'm a junior engineer at Cornell University and I'm starting to get a little burnt out from engineering/math/etc. I had an engineering internship over the summer and I enjoyed it, but I can't see doing that forever. I had a guest lecturer last year talk about law and engineering, ethics, etc and it definitely interested me. I don't really want to get into patent law, I guess I'm more interested in liability cases, something like "such and such system malfunctioned, we need some engineering grounded person to figure out who's responsible." I'm not really 100% on what I'd like to do, but something that's interesting and involves arguing with people I guess, haha. Anyway, I'll post some of my stats and I'm really looking for advice on where to go from here; how to start looking, what steps to take, where I should look, etc. Thanks!</p>

<p>Junior
Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science minor
GPA: 3.5
Cornell
Computer Science TA, sports broadcasting job, software development for an energy consulting firm
Fraternity, ice hockey, bunch of random crap
Started looking at practice LSATs, seems like the kinda thing I'd be good at
Looking to go out west, near the beach, nice weather, nor cal?</p>

<p>Not trying to go ape**** with a crazy law school, just something decent (do they give financial aid?)</p>

<p>If I'm not mistaken, the career you're describing is not one that uses (much less requires) a JD.</p>
