I'm in the process of attempting this. I'm taking some classes at law school, but I'm only studying towards the Bachelor of Laws, not towards the kind of university credential that you need as a prerequisite for being allowed to sit the bar exam to become a real lawyer. I'm instead using it as an opportunity to try to find ways of combining tech knowledge and legal knowledge and getting interesting work out of it that draws on both but doesn't require a bar exam.

I think there are some interesting avenues opening up there, around Legal Tech and also around the general fact that I expect that tech will become more compliance-driven in the future.

I mean: When I started out in the field, it was pretty much this unregulated wild west. When I retire, I expect that working in a tech company will feel a lot like working in a bank does today. In a bank, lawyers and law-savvy managers are hugely influential, because everyone else struggles to navigate all the nuance of the regulation that affects them, and it's not even just about money, but about potentially going to jail or not.
