Let's say you are in your early thirties and you leave the news business to get your law degree for 3 years and then you practice for 3 or four years.
That's 7 years you've been out.
However, couldn't someone get back in the tv news business on Court TV for example, a little older, a little wiser with more to say?
Is it career suicide to get out for so long? |

you can try anything.
But you don't have to practice law to report on it.
Nor do you have to be an attorney any more to be on Court-TV.
That went out when Steve Brill sold out his interest.
(The exception was Terry Moran who is not a lawyer).
And if you want to do legal "journalism" as opposed to cover trials, Court-TV is not a place to be.
