Agree 2009 was a really bad year for legal market. [/quote]

If this is your dream and you have the ability to get accepted to a law school near you and the means to pay for it without jeopardizing retirement savings, kids’ 529s etc., then go for it. Life doesn’t end at 40 and you court still have 20+ years working when you get out. The fact your DH is an attorney also means you have someone to bounce stuff off when you study and to hopefully help with connections.

I was the first in my family to even graduate college (did well on the LSAT and got scholarships to law school). It was much tougher for me to get internships and letters of rec early in because I didn’t have the connections some of my peers did (e.g. it’s nice when a family member already works at a law firm and knows lots of other attorneys).

Also, what area do you think you want to practice in? [/quote]
