I am considering going to law school myself in order to practice intellectual property law for a biotech company, but that probably will not be in the near future as the wife really wants to start having kids and we can't really afford another 3 years of school (either monetarily or psychologically). One day though , I think that is what I would really like to do.

Not to derail or anything, but I've written a shitload and maybe people will just want to digest instead of me adding more for now
Good luck in your endeavors. All those reasons resonate with me, as well. Also, though, don't compare your field with criminal defense
. At least, no money in the people I'd be desiring to defend!
