    Try looking into George Mason University School of Law in
    Arlington, VA. It is a first tier law school & a top ranked
    school for patent law (competitive with Franklin Pierce (4th
    tier) and GW (1st tier) for top 3 IP law schools). Several
    patent examiners attend the school as part-time evening
    students since almost all patent and ip courses are given
    from 6-10 pm. Most of the courses are taught by actual
    patent attorneys. The night/part-time program is run at the
    same pace as the day courses and is taught by the same
    professors. It is very typical for GW students to transfer
    for the third year to GMU to save money. GW & GMU share
    several of the same IP professors.
