This is the best possible answer to that question

I'm considering a career change to pursue civil rights law. Any advice? Here's a few specific questions:

• for context, my broadest goal is to affect policy

• I'm 40, how long will it realistically take to "become a civil rights lawyer"?

• what should I be looking for in a school?

• if I should decide this isn't the path for me, what other ways can I get involved?

I had this discussion with my wife earlier this week, so I appreciate any and all advice you're willing to share.

Thanks for taking the time, this is very helpful!
