    Unlike undergrad, you do not specialize in law school, you specialize by getting a job in the area you wish to practice after you graduate and pass the bar (or through internships while in law school). The legal job market is awful right now so the best thing you can do is go to the very best law school you get accepted to. Employers typically look more at where did you go to law school and what was your GPA/class rank. Good luck.

    Hey Leslie,

    The legal curriculum is different than your undergrad. No one graduates with a 'major' in any area; you get the same degree.

    Your first year, you'll be taking standard classes at every law school (crim, property, contracts, civ pro, torts, maybe con law). After that, you'll get to 'specialize', not in that you'll get a different degree with a 'major', but in that you'll get to take whichever classes interest you. Any school worth going to will have employment classes (labor, contracts, etc...) and international law (too many classes to even start a list).

    So, in short, any good law school will let you take classes in those areas.

    Good luck!
