I've been kicking around the idea. I'm thinking about it no so much for the money or "prestige" but to gain a better understanding of copyright law.

Anyone else here thinking of going? or are attorneys by training already?

Need tips on the LSAT and the Bar exam.

Don?t worry about the bar exam it is too far away, and it is very different from LSAT. For the LSAT buy a good self study book and work on it whenever you have some free time.

I got my JD in 99, and am currently studying for the Oregon bar exam.

Intellectual property classes are generally an elective. Law school is mostly about all the bar tested subjects, trial practice, legal writing and a few electives toward the end. A lot of people think law school allows you to "specialize" in a particular field, but all that occurs afterwards.

Pick up any LSAT prep book for a few tip and tricks, but there's not too much you can do. It tests innate reading comprehension and logic skills. About the best thing you could do is take a bunch of practice tests and read a lot to sharpen your skills.
