Is anyone here an environmental lawyer or environmental engineering lawyer?
Asked by Powderpuff
I have a degree in environmental engineering and planning to go to law school after I take my Professional Engineer exam. Has anyone gone down this tract or something similar? Is it financially/personally rewarding?

Best Answer:
Not an environmental lawyer, but thought I might be able to help since you haven't gotten responses. My understanding of environmental law is it is one of the more "dead" areas of law. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of jobs or demand for environmental lawyers there. However. There are law firms and organizations that have environmental law practices, and I do see job ads from time to time. I would guess there are probably more people interested in practicing environmental law than the demand being there for them, so be warned about that. To set yourself apart and have a better chance at those jobs and financial security, I'd advise going to the best law school you can and doing well academically...which is good advice no matter what...but might be more essential in your case. Hope this helps.
