[quote=Anonymous]You can do it, op, but agree might be most comfortable in a non-traditional evening program. You will find older students there. If you use day time hours to "clerk" (i.e. volunteer) with organizations you can make contacts that will help you find a job after graduation. I would be 100% sure first that money is not an issue. I went late, borrowed, and needed to be making a big salary because of loans and cost of living in DC. That can be very difficult with a family. My standard piece of advice to women interested in law is to go right after college, work like crazy at a firm to get yourself a partnership and then have kids. The partnership opens lots of other doors. And it is very difficult at BIGLAW firms to make it from any kind of reduced hours position, unless you are well connected internally.[/quote]
