So you want to be an IT lawyer?

I often get emails from law students wanting to know more about ICT law and what they should study if they want to have a career in ICT law.
Well first off, we need to be on the same page about the subject matter: ICT. A good start is to read our post “What is ICT?”
Its always useful to see what other students are thinking. I think its worthwhile reading Eugene Volokh’s 2008 post on his blog.
Before you even think of enrolling for your law degree, you had better try and understand what the legal profession is all about and what you are letting yourself in for. My partner John, referred me to a wonderful article by Patrick Schiltz titled “On Being a Happy, Healthy, and Ethical Member of an Unhappy, Unhealthy, and an Ethical Profession” which for me is a must read (more like plough through as it is 81 pages long).
