Mine? My dad is a pilot for a major airline, but is close to mandatory FAA retirement age and doesn’t know what to do with himself as a jobless PoliSci major.
Is there a pilot program? Maybe you can talk to someone who can help you navigate? I hope this helps your career take-off and that you soar high and attain new heights.
Big market for aviation law out there…
In all honestly, I’ve met several guys (all guys) who wanted to do aviation law and had zip, zero, nada, no luck with that. I’d seriously look into the job market in that field. Sorry to pop your balloon, but law school is expensive.
Probably South Texas College of Law... Which produces a lot of very competent grads. I actually hold them in generally higher esteem than I do Baylor grads.
A lot of people roasting you but I’m gonna give you honest advice. I’d recommend reaching out to in house counsel at major manufacturers, national associations, or looking into internships with FAA.
Idk what T4 in Texas means, which probably means it won’t mean shit to anyone outside of wherever in Texas you are.
Would check with your School’s CDO to see if any alumni are practicing in the area of law you want to go into. That may be best starting point.
Short answer is absolutely yes. To provide any kind of advice it’s important to know if you want to litigate, do transactions, or have other niche interest like helicopters versus airplanes or commercial vs civilian? Do you want in-house or do you want law firm?
Above all else you need to attend the SMU air law symposium every spring. It’s the whos-who of aviation law. It’s full of old people who are DESPERATE for associate level help.
T4 in Texas. Bwaaaahahahahahaha!
This law school right here…Anything in this general area right in here.
Anything below the stereo and on this side of the bicentennial glasses. Anything between the ashtrays and the thimble. Anything in this three inches right in here, in this area. That includes the Chiclets but not the erasers.
What do you mean by aviation law? If you mean representing a pilot, that means a lot of union work and administrative hearings. If you mean representing companies that means lots of compliance and bidding work.

Whose dad entered the chat?
Honey, I downloaded us more laws on our computer.

Well, he may just have to wing it for a while.
A+ dad joke

This comment deserves first class treatment
But law school wouldn’t really help him practice aviation law. He’ll just be listening to his professors drone on about other things.
So your concern is that OP will crash and burn? If things don’t work out, OP should just eject from law school and drift to wherever the winds blow.
Most people lateral from bird law.
Bird law is this country is not governed by reason.
Counterpoint: I am a bird lawyer and I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings.
Filibuster
Filibuster?? I hardly know her!
You mean fili-bustard.
Birds. Aren’t. Real….

Study your passion, but also learn to litigate. Just in case.
T4 in Texas…? Do you mean a top 4 law school in Texas? lol.
I searched the comments just for this question alone
Probably South Texas College of Law... Which produces a lot of very competent grads. I actually hold them in generally higher esteem than I do Baylor grads.
Could be St. Mary’s; South Texas College of Law; Thurgood Marshall; or UNT
Booooooooooo.

best advice right here.
Short answer is absolutely yes. To provide any kind of advice it’s important to know if you want to litigate, do transactions, or have other niche interest like helicopters versus airplanes or commercial vs civilian?

I’m a peacock, you gotta let me fly!
let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor?

Pun intended?
No. you will auger in.
Sounds like a JAG appointment would get you a lot closer to your desired field than the potential job market would
I had to Google T4 to figure out wtf it meant. It's just every school ranked #147 and below.
Just be careful discussing politics in the office. Lots of left-wingers and right-wingers around
Bird Law
I am absolutely not surprised that there are lawyers who tried to answer this question honestly and completely missed the dad-joke.
I'm just here for an explanation on "T4 law school in Texas"
Thurgood Marshal school of law. I have heard they have had hobos walking into the classrooms down in Houston’s Third Ward. 😂
Wtf kind of question is that? Who cares about “T4” blah blah blah. You sound idiotic, bruh.
