Law student chiming in.

Usually law schools will look at three things (everything else is just a tiny edge): LSAT score, GPA, willingness to pay tuition. Seriously. Joe middle class can get into top 30 law schools by just rocking the LSAT.

And where I am on the West Coast, there are tons of engineers/science majors that go to law school to work specifically on tech concentrations like Intellectual Property litigation (do you know how many patents your average tech company churns out in a year??). So the short answer is yes- there are tons of jobs looking for lawyer/scientists that can understand complicated patents in a specific tech field that can traverse the legal landscape for the company.

Don't know if you're still around, but I figure I'll ask anyhow.

What's the hardest part of your job? I read somewhere from a Catholic priest that his favorite and most difficult part of the profession was hearing confessions and giving counsel. Is your similar/different?

Love your work and we're all rooting for you! What can we do to protect our rights and freedoms online? Sign petitions, share certain things with friends, etc?

Yeah- there should be a way to register with the state as a captain of a ship at sea that can do marriages instead of bringing the mantle of the Church into it.
