Answer 1

Whatever interests you. If you're interested in a specific area of law, explore it. Law practice is a very personal decision. For example, one person says tax, ther other says family law. Yes, these areas of law are right for them. But let's say you hate tax, then practicing in that area isn't the best for you.

My recommendation, explore your options. If you find that you like a specific area of law, then try to clerk in that area.

Do what makes you happy.

Answer 2

I've found land use and development law to be in great demand. It's a little different from real estate law, because it starts with the raw land and follows the project through to completion. You'll deal with water law, subdivisions, zoning, roads, environmental law, construction law and your work can help create safer, cleaner and more attractive communities. I do live in the Southwest U.S. and in one of the top 50 counties in growth. What I really like about it is that I get out of the office frequently and "kick my boots" in the dirt. You get to drive past a project when it's finished and know you helped create it. Family law can be very profitable, but I couldn't stand the emotions involved in a divorce and the fights over the children and the money. Personal injury law can be profitable, but I hated the negotiations with the insurance companies. This may not be true, but I always thought if the insurance company treated their clients fairly, there would be no need for attys in these cases.

Answer 3

Trial lawyers who bring on class actions seems to be the ones that grab all the money.

May be you'll the one to bring down Ronald McDonald. Just think how great that would be.

Answer 4

go into family law, fight the childrens aid.

Answer 5

Tax. You'll get your fair share of offers.
