Question
What are the different fields that law can offer? I am an aspiring lawyer and I'm  trying to find out.

Answer
There is no limit to the different kinds of law that a lawyer can practice.  I will just fire off as many as I can think of but this list is in no way exhaustive because I see new practice areas all of the time.
Business, Tax, Probate, Wills Trusts, Corporate, Real Estate, Landlord Tenant, Creditor Law, Family, Entertainment, Animal Law, Personal Injury, Criminal, Prevenative Law, Employment Law, Administrative Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers Compensation, Products Liability, Class Action Law, Maritime Law, Construction Defect, Insurance Defense and just about any other area of the law that you can think of.
