Any use in the industry for a CE / Lawyer?
(OP)
I'm thinking about going to night school (no "dark side" puns please) to become a lawyer. I have thought about it a long time, and think I would enjoy it more than an MBA or masters in engineering.
Does anyone see any particular marketability for a PE in civil coupled with a JD?
The only things I could come up with are construction litigation, defense of professionals in civil/criminal cases, or patents. Help me think of other areas that might have a use for this combination please.

Law school will broaden your world view, and change the way you think, about everything.

But MikeHalloran is right. It's too soon to worry about that. Get through law school and see what you have a passion for.
Who knows, maybe you will find a niche in working a with eminent domain cases, either as a government attorney taking land away from individual land owners or in defending land owners against governmental agencies.

He is a patent attorney, and makes more money than anyone. He also seems to enjoy that life.
Buy a dictionary, keep it nearby and USE it. Webster's New World Dictionary of American English is recommended, and Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.

I couldn't work for the MAN taking land away, and I would feel bad about charging Mrs. I'm-a-widow-lived-in-this-house-for-40-years-and-I-live-on-social-security anything. I would be a broke imminent domain lawyer.

He was a lawyer first and engineer second.
