What types of lawyers don't spend that much time in the courtroom?

I am majoring in Political science with a minor in Criminal Justice for my undergrad, and then want to go on to Law school. I don't want to be a trial lawyer because I don't want to spend all my time in a courtroom. What are my options?

    Appeals, real estate, contract, family, anything that is not considered a litigator.

    ask a lawyer. most consults are free, if you know where to ask.

    ps-it also depends on which area of the country. Florida is notorious for insurance lawsuits, as is California and New York/New Jersey.

    remember, it's not the work but the adjulation from winning lawsuits. Think about your ego. Unless you want to be bogged down in research all the time, you'll want to spend some time in the courtroom. That's where they will test your mettle.
