What is the best profession in Law that an Economics graduate can pursue?

As we all know there is no "typical lawyer." There are many "professions" within the profession of law. I have a degree in Economics and I would like to know where my training in the discipline would be maximized. Would it be when i specialize in criminal law, family law, personal injury or defective product litigation, trust and estate law, business transactions and litigation, tax law, employment or labor law, environmental law, patent and trademark law, civil rights litigation, or in other specialized areas?What is the best profession in Law that an Economics graduate can pursue?
trust and estate law, followed by tax law,
I found during law school that there were undergrads and draduate of every sort. I would not limit yourself based on your prior degree. During lawschool you can dabble in all areas and chose the practise which interests you most.

I would suggest you to do MBA Finance and join some reputed concern so that your services can be utilised better. As a Lawyer u have to struggle a lot to come up.
Tax Law and Antitrust law seem the most likely fields for you to benefit. You aren't going to be able to do patent law with an econ degree.
