"The Joint Degree Program encouraged me to pursue multi-disciplinary training in law and science. I can definitely say that I would not be prosecuting biotechnology patents right now if it were not for my experience in the JDP. When I started law school, I had an undergraduate science degree. I was interested in biotechnology patents, but soon found out that without an advanced degree in the field, employment options were very limited. The JDP gave me the opportunity to not only get my law degree from a top-20 law school, but also get the necessary advanced degree for biotech patent law."
