Answer
Dear Matout,

A computer science degree combined with a legal degree can make you competitive in the growing fields of e-discovery and litigation support.  Litigation support professionals use technology to preserve, collect, process and produce large volumes of data in litigation.  E-discovery professionals help clients manage growing volumes of electronically stored information.  Individuals with information technology and legal backgrounds are a perfect fit for these types of positions.  The e-discovery field has exploded in the last five years and salaries keep rising.
