I am in the exact same boat. Went from programmer to top ten law school to top ten patent practice in Silicon Valley. Lasted two years. Now back in programming.

I am in the exact same boat. Went from programmer to top ten law school to top ten patent practice in Silicon Valley. Lasted two years. Now back in programming. I learned a lot about how our legal system works and how corrupt our patent system is ... And I met my wife in law school ... Otherwise going to law school was the worst financial decision of my life.
