    Patrick:

    In addition to checking out online law schools, check your
    state regs on qualifying to sit for the bar with experience
    or mentoring. Many states will allow a person to qualify by
    being an apprentice to a law firm or judge. Since you are
    already working "more than full time" you might be able to
    get credit toward sitting for the bar while you work at your
    present job. It is not a short cut but since you are
    already working for a law firm, it would be a natural fit
    for your life style. -- good fortune to you.
