Welcome back FGLP!
We are starting the Season 3 with an insightful conversation featuring Brian J. Paul, a Tampa-based intellectual property attorney whose path to patent law was anything but traditional.
In this episode, Brian shares how his science background positioned him for success in IP law, along with the realities of sitting for not one but two bar exams. While he would not recommend that route, his honesty offers valuable perspective for law students and early-career attorneys navigating unconventional paths.
We discuss:
• Leveraging a STEM background in the legal profession
• Lessons learned from taking multiple bar exams
• Finding alignment between technical skills and legal practice
• Building a sustainable legal career as a first-generation attorney
This conversation sets the tone for Season Three with intention, transparency, and practical insight for those charting their own course in law.
