I’m a capital markets attorney and have been for 6 years at a large law firm.  I’m doing the exams solely to gain some understanding of finance (liberal arts background), though hopefully that won’t magically turn me into a tool as poster above suggests (I’ll take the high compensation).   Not sure law school after CFA is any crazier than law school without CFA, I think the two actually work together better than a lot of other combinations.  I can only speak from personal experience, but the exams so far have really helped me on deals if only because I can at least fully understand and discuss most of the issues, not just the legal ones.
