I really want to go to law school but be self employed afterwards. I am a single parent and really want to provide him a stable homelife as possible (being there for his games, plays, homework, etc.). I would really like to do legal research, family law, ip, or environmental law or estate law. Can I do those on my own with a 9 hour day or is going to law school pretty much a waste of time?

You can do it. I am sure it will be hard, but if you put your mind to it you can do it. Check into classes online and take as many online as you can. Set you mind to it and do it. I admire you and I wish you luck.

I am sure you are bright enough to go to law school, but I am going to be honest with you, law school would be your life for the time while you are there. One of my closest friends is in law school and she has no life. It will all be worth it because she has always wanted to be a lawyer.
You can still do this, but prepare yourself for a rough couple of years. Also, do you have the prerequisites to go to law school? You also need some money and you wouldn't have much time for anything else - if you can handle this, go for it!
If you need to work full-time and if you have a son that you want to be physically there for, you can still work in the legal field and go to school part-time to be a Law Clerk, Legal Assistant or Paralegal and still work in that area.
Education is never a waste of time. You can be a lawyer if you give it your all. Put some serious thought into it, investigate your options, come to a decision and stick to it!
All the best!

I think that it is completely possible if you are dedicated and really work for it. Good luck!
