Patent Attorney — A Nice Niche

Jim Heinen photoopenquoteThe curriculum at Miami was extremely difficult and challenging which helped prepare me for where I am now. Everything that I took in the law classes was helpful at law school; everything that I did with my chemistry undergrad was helpful with what I have now.

Analyze an Issue from All Sides

Mark Thompson photoopenquoteMiami prepared me for law school by giving me a really well-rounded education. I think that phrase is easy to use but hard to explain and what I mean by that is that it teaches you to take an issue, and once you're comfortable thinking about it from a certain perspective, turn it around and think of it from the opposite side, so you really learn to analyze an issue from all sides. closequote

Beth McNellie photoopenquoteThe education I got at Miami was very comparable to the experiences that [my classmates at Columbia Law School] had had ...
