Do you need work experience to be a patent attorney?

megzstar22 asked:


I am planning on going to law school to study patent law. I am currently getting my B.S. in Electrical Engineering and working part time in the field of power distribution design. One question that comes to mind is if you need a lot of engineering experience in order to get hired as a patent attorney? Do some patent attorneys get hired online drugs without prescription having little to no engineering experience?
