things I could do with a law degree, such as beat up on lawyers who were beating up on free software projects. The program takes four years of "part time" study if you wish to take the bar afterward, or three years if you just want a JD.
Steve: An interesting project, and I wish you well. You may be in a good position to respond to nastygrams that lawyers beating up on free software projects send. But it strikes me that if you want to get involved in even a semi-serious legal defense, it may be more than you can afford pro bono unless you're at a large law firm. Even the PETA case (which I wrote about today for Wired) involves over $300K in legal fees and misc. expenses, and that was just over a domain name. -Declan
