: : I am presently studying toward a PhD in organic chemistry from Indiana University. I am becoming increasingly interested in the prospect of a career in patent law after I graduate. What opportunities might there be out there for me to find a company to finance my education while I'm in law school? I have heard that some companies will pay for law school - is this true? How can I find out more? Thanks for any help ot advice you can give me. : : Robert DeSelms, deselms@avicom.net : You can check with in house corporate counsel at any major corporation in your field of check out some major law firms that deal exclusively with patent law. You may be able to work as a quasi-legal type assistant while going through law school. Firms are very eager to find people with your credentials. Most large corporations offer financial assistance so if you just look for employment with one and check out the benefits of tuition assistance before applying you may luck out and find something. However, if you work while going to law school you need a part time evening law school program, or to work for a law firm that will be understanding of your schedule.
