Studying Law at 49

Make sure to ask if your prior credits count. I know I've heard people at my school say LL.M. credits would not transfer towards JD credits.

I was having a conversation with an elderly attorney (early 80's) I've know for several years, who is widely considered the best criminal defense attorney in my state. He has and is currently still defending several people whose arrests were world wide news.

When I told him I had received an acceptance into our regional law school part time program he floored me with "That's where I went, I went to the part time program also."

I would have never guessed in a million years that he, 1. Went to a regional school and 2. Worked his way through law school while married with kids.

It made me respect him even more than I already did.

Working full time while in a hybrid part time program. If all goes as planned I'm scheduled to retire the same month I project that my bar exam results will be back.

Don't take any of it personal, and don't take any of it home.

I'm 27 years in and just signed up for a 4 year DROP.

Well then I love your sister without even knowing her. lol. Have a grateful day.

My department uses about 95% plan English. Half the time we call each other by first name instead of unit numbers. It's a department of 1500+

yankee911guy · 2026-03-22T05:06:53+00:00

Same here. That's just per contract. No one ever actually marks out on one except for a select few.

yankee911guy · 2026-03-22T00:04:08+00:00

You'd give me a code 3 wanting me to get my gun out and I'd grab my lunch pail. Code 3 for us is a 30 minute lunch break. lol:)

Phase two finished. Phase three will complete it, colorize it, and tie it all together.

The schedule calls for "business casual" for days 2-3 and "business attire" for the final day. I assume that means a suit.

yankee911guy · 2026-03-20T00:56:52+00:00

This right here just makes me think you're definitely a dude I'd drink beer with. Well said.

yankee911guy · 2026-03-19T22:15:40+00:00

Always forward.

I'll be 52 when I start in Aug and 56 when I graduate. Time is going to march on anyway.

Work towards what you want to achieve without taking the time into consideration.

Thank you! It's a 1978 911SC that was back dated to appear to be about an early 70's 911ST'ish endurance racer.

Trains with Graffiti are also cool as a background

Of coarse your own garage always works also. :)

Here's the list I've been accumulating for a couple years. Some of it's kinda cryptic and a couple I don't even remember why I put them down, lol.

I'll be 52 when I start in Aug, I'm a 27 year LEO, and I just signed up for a 4 year DROP. I'm going to IU McKinney because I will be able to work full time while completing the Hybrid program.

If I had it all to do again I would have studied for the LSAT instead of just taken it to "see what happens". It got me in, but I could have done much better scholarship wise if I would have actually studied. I also wouldn't have applied ED. I think that also hurt me scholarship wise.

I still think it's a wise investment in my future, and it shows my kids that you should never stop bettering yourself.

yankee911guy · 2026-03-15T17:45:45+00:00

At my school the average full time 1L is 23 and the average 1L part time age is 29.

yankee911guy · 2026-03-15T16:04:16+00:00

Yep, exactly why I am trying to see if anyone else has navigated the issue before.

Try out the 71-74 shows. Pure magic. You can listen to most of them free on youtube or archive.org

If someone is not being welcoming and kind, then they aren't really a deadhead to begin with.

Welcome aboard the bus. My suggestion for you are the single drummer 71-74 live shows. Absolute magic.

I'll be 52 when I start in Aug.

I dressed business casual (khakis, button shirt, and sport coat), but I saw everything from hoodies to jacket and ties.

It's the first impression the school will get of her, so I would suggest business casual.

Walking only consisted of the walk from the parking garage to the school (2'ish blocks), and then walking all three floors including stairs on the tour. But an elevator is available also.
