Hi Casters. I have worked with a lot of former lawyers in my career and they have always been terrific business partners. I wrote a bit about that today https://avc.xyz/former-lawyers

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I’m an intellectual property lawyer & patent agent who quit last year to pursue more business in the creator economy, so I definitely resonate with the education preparation and perspective that comes from law school ✨

> I have helped quite a few former lawyers move from legal careers to working in startups Doing god's work! Amazing. > I am not entirely sure what it is about a legal education Mastery of symbolic reasoning (not as much as a math background, but vector in that direction), coupled with mastery of human beings (understanding full range of behaviors, incentives, motivations etc) which mathematicians don't get. Understanding symbols; understanding people; understanding how to build things with your hands -- the 3 things people need to master to become great entrepreneurs! Lawyers go along way to #1 and #2. > Particularly with people who left the practice of law early :)

Would also recommend former investment bankers who are so good with contracts they give lawyers a run for their money. cc @fieldy Probably want a strong personal reference though 😉

rightfully so. I would venture one step further and inspired by "smart contracts", there's an opportunity in the future "the programmer lawyer" role to emerge. Because of their approaches to logic conundrums and interpretations, especially in non-deterministic contexts (*cough* AI *cough*), is valuable.

i think it has to do with the use of the socratic method in a legal education the give and take of argumentative dialog is so important to learn how to deal with truth-finding and conflict
