I know that there is Civilization Law and Attorney but who knows any other interesting types? And what are awesome Law Schools? I have already narrowed it down to Yale and Harvard. Please Help!

Do you mean "civil" law? (Since cases can be civil or criminal.)
All kinds of legal practice:
Criminal prosecution
Criminal defense
Contract law
Tort law
Constitutional law
Estates/Probate
Family law (dissolutions, custody, etc)
Administrative law
As for great public law schools (U of Virginia, UCLA, Texas are among the best). Some fine small public schools, too ( U of Montana, for example, has about 75 students per year but consistently whips up on much larger schools in moot court, trial practice and other competitions).

Get into the best law school you can afford that will accept you -- in the industry, law school ranking matters a lot to later job opportunities.
As far as the areas of specialization, you need to study all the general areas -- and do nothing else for the first half of your law school career. Then, you'll have lots of electives to fill -- so plenty of opportunities to explore different areas of law (and there are dozens).

In addition to the other comments, it seems like a law degree is opens up many other opportunities as well, such as politics. I can definitely see you succeeding in law school and beyond!
