If you watch much television, you’re probably quite familiar with the sight of the courtroom lawyers. They either work for government to prosecute crimes or are defense attorneys, defending their clients from a charge or set of charges. While this is certainly a legitimate area of law, there are far more other areas of law that you could become interested in if you choose to become a lawyer. Here’s just a sampling:

 — Animal law

 — Antitrust law

 — Banking law

 — Business law

 — Communications law

 — Constitutional law

 — Contract law

 — Entertainment law

 — Family law

 — Health law

 — Immigration law

 — Juvenile law

 — Marital law

 — Music law

 — Patent law

 — Space law

 — Sports law

Law degrees can also lead to jobs in entertainment or sports as an agent or representative for business affairs or contracts. It can also be parlayed into teaching constitutional law or writing on judicial issues for the media. Just because you get a law degree does not mean you’re limited in the types of things you can do with it.
