Austin Lau’s Journey from Coding to the Courtroom at Baylor Law School

from Counseller’s Corner · host Baylor Law School

From writing code to briefing legal cases, 2L Austin Lau made a bold pivot from software engineering to studying law at Baylor Law School—and he hasn’t looked back. In this episode, he shares what pulled him away from tech, how his Baylor Lawyer dad helped ease the transition, and why he’s so inspired by intellectual property law’s blend of creativity, independence, and constant innovation. Austin also talks about his go-to coffee order in Waco, the artists he’d book for Baylor’s new concert venues, and what it’s really like trading corporate life for the pressure of law school cold calls.
