Hospitality Law?

there are also some firms whose real estate practices have a hotel and resort subfield. But you wouldn’t have to take any sort of special classes in law school for that–just what you’d take to become a regular real estate lawyer.

I’m actually finding that it’s a little dangerous to overspecialize in law school. I went in with a very clear idea of what what I wanted to do, and the current economy means that there just aren’t that many firm jobs available in that subfield. Luckily, I’ve always leaned toward working in the public interest or government side of things (and minimized my debt accordingly) so hopefully there are jobs there. You may want to consider how else you can be of service to a law firm if they don’t have openings in the exact practice you prefer.
