In this episode of Legal Chutney, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dinesh Melwani a Patent Parter at Bookoff McAndrews, who shared his journey of attending law school part-time while working full-time. We had an insightful conversation about balancing work, personal life, and education, especially for those with family or financial responsibilities.

We covered:

  • The realities of pursuing law school part-time and managing competing priorities.
  • How firm sponsorship and support can make legal education more accessible.
  • The importance of networking, setting boundaries, and clear communication—particularly for minority students.
  • Practical advice for anyone considering the part-time route to law school and the long-term value of investing in a legal education.
