: : : I am a forth year Ph.D (Chemistry) student with a strong background in organic chemistry, : : : protein chemistry and molecular biology and I should graduate within the year. Although I : : : have been researching law schools and patent law for several years, I still have a question : : : that could use some clarification. In particular, I was wondering if it would be better to : : : attend a law school with a better overall ranking or better to attend a law school with an : : : excellent intellectual property ranking? For example, assuming that both schools are in the : : : top 50, would it be better to attend a school ranked 15th overall with a ranking of 40th in : : : intellectual property or better to attend a school that is ranked 40th overall with an : : : intelectual property ranking in the top 5. I realize that there is much, much more to law : : : school value than just rankings, however I also realize that rankings are still important when : : : applying for a job. I would appeciate any advice a great deal. Thank You : : Dear D Vanik, : : When push comes to shove, the ratings don't count it is all up to you. If you are looking for a rating just select that way, if you can get in. : : I got into the field by accident, and with a brilliant partner. I've heard that Georgetown is good because all the patent examiners go there. : : It's really you that counts. : : M.
