Does anyone have opinions about going to law school part time? I have a job with a company that I love and while they're not going to help with tutition, they will be flexible with my time commitments in the office.
People keep telling me that there's no way that I'll be able to go part time and keep up a 40 hour work week. I have other friends in grad school and they manage their time well between a career and school. I feel like I can do it!
Any thoughts?

I have a few friends that do this, and its a LOT of work. I say only work if this job will advance your legal career and will substantially help pay for the cost of school. Its a huge committment, and it can be done, but you'll be very busy. It helps if your job is in the same location as your law school. My friend works 5-10 min from her law school, so its not as frustrating as it could be.
but there are plenty of people who do it, so it can be done. Good luck!
