There are some graduate programs for lawyers who want to really dive into research/theory, but don't want to clerk, for example, the doctoral programs that many law schools offer (not to be confused with the standard Juris Doctor or JD degree - I'm talking about true doctoral programs).

However, I do agree that they are extremely specialized and that you generally don't need to graduate from one of those programs if you want to be an legal researcher/academic. Strong performance in your JD program is often times sufficient.
