Criminal Justice majors focus on the CJ system as a whole, from crime to punishment and everything in between.
Law Enforcement majors will focus on the enforcement of laws, methods of law enforcement, critiques, history, theory of crime prevention/origin, etc.
Typically, Law Enforcement is a specialization in the Criminal Justice degree program . ie, psychology majors will often choose different areas of the field like Child Psychology or Criminal Psychology.

Criminal Justice would be an attorney or something in that field.
Law Enforcement would be a cop.

"Criminal Justice" is a field of study. It looks at all aspects of the Justice System... courts, police, corrections, probation and parole, etc. "Law Enforcement" is one aspect of the Justice System, covered by the police and others who actually enforce laws. The entry level salary can vary greatly depending on department and area of the country.

I belive that criminal justice refers to judges. Law enforcement refers to all types of officers.

Law enforcement is but one component of the criminal justice system including the courts, corrections and I suppose even the legislators who make the laws.
