Learning About Legal Specialties and Practice Areas
These join our other career guides:
- Public Service Careers: Research Tips
- Fellowship Opportunities in Law
- Government Work
- Researching Judicial Clerkship Opportunities
- Sample Searches for Networking and Informational Interviews
You might think you have way too much reading to do for class to spend any time reading something optional.

Even leafing through a few pages now and then can spark your thinking and help you plan.
