How do you leverage JD/Eng into a job - in my experience, it's been an either/or kind of thing.

Also, what is Open Source lawyering?

You can leverage JD/eng into a job at most good tech companies. You just have to contact the right folks there, instead of applying through recruiters that are doing keyword scanning.

You won't be able to get work at a large law firm doing anything but lawyering, of course.

Open source lawyering = I specialize in open source related issues (be they licensing, compliance in general, whatever).

If you want to work more on the law side, pretty much any sufficiently big software company is going to need someone like you. If you want to stick more to the developer stuff, try something in a more heavily regulated industry like healthcare or finance.
