[quote=Anonymous]Attending a part-time program may make the most sense, allowing you to continue to earn an income as you work towards a career transition and bolstering your financial resources in case that second career doesn't pan out financially. If you stop working altogether, you'll be paying for law school and your living expenses for three years in a full-time program, depleting your nest egg materially. Also, if you can get into a top law school that's fine, but your ambitions don't actually make that necessary unless you expect to target a very competitive type of public interest or academic-type position. You mention things like helping veterans file disability claims and simple contracts work; those do not require graduation from a T14 school as opposed to aiming for BigLaw, a federal clerkship, or DOJ where a T14 background is very helpful, if not essential.
