<p>I'm planning on starting law school and I'm what would be considered a non-traditional student. Does anyone know much about this discipline ? I'm a "Baby Boomer" and we are the fastest growing segment of the population and I would thin there is going to be a lot of work in this arena.</p>
<p>What do you mean by elder care litigation? </p>
<p>I'm an attorney. I've never heard of lawyers who specialize in that. There ARE lawyers who specialize in guardianship, i.e., managing the assets of people who have grown incompetent. There are lawyers who work in employment law and do a lot of work in age discrimination. There are lawyers who help fight denials of social security and other governmental benefits. There are lawyers who handle medical malpractice cases and many of their clients are elderly. There are lots of trusts and estate lawyers, and they have lots of elderly clients and after their clients' deaths, they handle the estate. </p>
<p>Generally speaking, lawyers specialize in types of matters, not types of clients.</p>
<p>Jonri, I guess you pretty well covered the spectrum. I'm thinking probably in the areas of age and wage discrimination. That seems to be especially prevalent these days.</p>
