I do not have a law degree but one in aerospace engineering and MSc in Management.
I am looking to broaden my career prospects and work on the legal aspects of technology. (equipment reliability; technical liability issues;incidents and accidents).
Although I have many years of engineering experience in safety critical and safety related systems, I am not sure how best to get this legal knowledge and the opportunities afterwards to capitalise on this knowledge professionally.
An LLM doesn't a lawyer make, and it is not clear to me how a person with a LLM law degree that is not legally qualified to practise law functions or is perceived.
Has anyone done this backwards : qualified with an LLM and then done the necessary licence-to-practise training subsequently ?
I know this all sounds a bit unusual, but I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
