Engineering to IP law?

I just finished my second year of computer engineering at UBC with 80 or 3.7 cGPA.

My first year average was 86 and I bombed a few courses in second year. I think I can score above average on the LSAT, especially given that I can do it multiple times.

So a few questions:

  1. How bad is bombing a few courses in second year?

  2. Does my engineering background give me an edge in IP law in admission or employment?

  3. Realistically what school should I aim for?

  4. What LSAT score would I need to compensate for my cGPA?

  5. Any advice/opinion for someone like me pursuing this path?

I just need some advice to see if I should actually pursue law school or should I just pack up and stick with engineering. If you had a similar path I would like to know your story just in general also.

Thanks
