I like to think critically. Programming generally consists of thinking critically. Law requires critical thinking also. I have a feeling that I may get burnt out with programming fairly early on in my career. Which brings me to my second point which is "diversification" of my job skill portfolio. I like to have another equally, or so, interesting career to go to when I get sick of the other. The average person changes careers between three and five times over the course of their lifetime. I want to at least be prepared to move on to my second without too much fuss, or the burden of trying to go to school at 40+. Who knows? I might just start writing software for lawyers.

And, why (if I may ask)? Are you considering a career in the realm of law as opposed to the wonderful world of computer goodness? Woah, when did you decide that want to go to Law school?
