Other than for tax or patent lawyers, there really is not a graduate school for lawyers. To work in academia, you must be an OUTSTANDING student and be invited to teach, or establish a reputation in a filed of law and then search out teaching position. Law school are always hiring adjunct faculty and that can be a stepping-stone to a full time teaching position. If pure research is your interest, again good grades in law school, and a clerking popistion in a judges chambers is the way to go. In some states, like California, the appellate court -- and even the trial courts -- employ research attorney who can have 30 year careers with the court. Hope that helps,
