Date: April 21st, 2017 1:06 PM Author: Razzle Round Eye this is the CR combination...
if you obtain this you will be guaranteed work in big law for as long as you can not be a retard |
Date: April 21st, 2017 1:07 PM Author: Gold Locale Regret Or just get a BS in computer science. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3591237&forum_id=2#33127425) |

Date: April 21st, 2017 1:10 PM Author: Razzle Round Eye 90% of CS guys are going to be Indians, Asians, or weirdos. These types cannot do patent litigation well. You will have zero competition. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3591237&forum_id=2#33127452) |

Date: April 21st, 2017 1:13 PM Author: Gold Locale Regret Being a non-weirdo white guy in CS is also a big advantage. Puts you on the path to management, MBA, startup funding, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3591237&forum_id=2#33127473) |

Date: April 21st, 2017 1:16 PM Author: Razzle Round Eye having a law degree can only help that prospect as well... I don't see why CS + T14 is a bad idea under any circumstance.
random CS white guy will not do as well as random CS white guy + law degree in the business world. |

Date: April 21st, 2017 1:25 PM Author: Gold Locale Regret Getting a law degree will actually make people discount your CS degree, and see you primarily as a lawyer, someone to be taken less seriously when it comes to tech and business.

Date: April 21st, 2017 1:25 PM Author: Claret Filthy Mad Cow Disease as someone who works in the industry I can confirm that this analysis is 100% false. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3591237&forum_id=2#33127579) |

Date: April 21st, 2017 1:30 PM Author: Gold Locale Regret I supposed if you worked for some time and then went to LS as a more senior guy with tech biz experience it might not be the case. But CS degree straight to LS, you might as well be an English major. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3591237&forum_id=2#33127627) |

Date: April 21st, 2017 1:32 PM Author: dashing brunch ape not for Patent lit. There is only 1 dude at my firm that has a computer science degree that I'm aware of (1000+ firm) and basically anytime a case involves anything related to computers he gets work. so his hours are always like 2400+ even when the firm is slow.
otoh this sounds horrible. |
|
Date: April 21st, 2017 1:35 PM Author: Gold Locale Regret Oh for actually being a lawyer in a firm, I'm sure it helps to have a CS degree over a random BS.
I just meant that trying to use the law degree in a non-law role in technology/business/etc is worse than just having the CS BS plus 3 yrs work experience. |
|
Date: April 21st, 2017 1:37 PM Author: dashing brunch ape oh I didn't pay attention to the exact back and forth. not sure about the business world, but for BIGLAW I think having the CS degree (or EE degree for that matter) is as close to having job security as you can get.

whats the point of the CSBA if you just do biglaw |

Date: April 21st, 2017 1:09 PM Author: Razzle Round Eye stability, prestige and more interesting work (not flame - being a patent lawyer is actually more interesting than being an engineer that works on the same project for 10 years making incremental advances) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3591237&forum_id=2#33127447) |

Date: April 21st, 2017 1:16 PM Author: Razzle Round Eye pretty sure you've never set foot in a BIGLAW firm (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3591237&forum_id=2#33127507) |
|
Date: April 21st, 2017 1:12 PM Author: motley disturbing mood boltzmann If I did CS, I'd have gone and worked in finance then gotten an MBA. LJL at wasting your life with litigation. Litigation is probably the least desirable profession on the planet (if your ignore the money). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3591237&forum_id=2#33127463) |

like how you tossed that out there as if you would have been smart enough to. |
|
Date: April 21st, 2017 1:27 PM Author: motley disturbing mood boltzmann Admittedly have no background in it, so I can't judge how I would have been.
That said, I have elite credentials from UG and LS and an LSAT score in the mid 170s.

|
Date: April 21st, 2017 1:30 PM Author: dashing brunch ape LSAT score doesn't really equate to engineering.
I even know a dude who was brilliant at economics but couldn't "get" a basic data structures class. Different kind of thinking. Probably why CS + JD combos are so rare, literally uses two extremes of the brain. |

Date: April 21st, 2017 1:29 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle up-to-no-good double fault church building Probably. Even if you just did commercial lit in biglaw you'd become the go to guy for any dispute requiring a modicum of computer understanding.
