79-Year-Old Graduates From Law School, Begins Career in Elder Law
At an age when work is a distant memory for most people, Alice Thomas is embarking on a career in elder law. In December 2009, Thomas graduated from Pacific McGeorge School of Law at age 79. She was older than all but one of her professors, not to mention her classmates, and is one of the oldest people ever to earn a law degree from an American Bar Association-accredited school.
