Law Fields for hopeful Politicians

[Jschil]

<p>Now, I don't know if this is the right forum to post this under, but I was just wondering what law specialties would be good for someone who wants to be a lawyer, and go into politics later on. I know you don't have to be a lawyer to go into politics, but that's irrelevant as far as I am concerned. Right now I'm leaning towards corporate law, but that could easily change.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>Criminal law. If you want to be like today’s politicians, you will need to learn the importance of the phrase, “I decline to answer that question on the grounds of my right under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.”</p>

<p>Many people see the D.A.'s office as a path into politics. (That does mean criminal law.)</p>
