I think its a fantastic plan if its your true interest. Are you interested in public interest law? While its true that public interest law doesn’t pay much, particularly in light of the debt you can rack up, there are programs which will forgive a portion of your loans if you work with under-served populations.

Also, something to think about is a joint degree program. For example, University of Maryland offers a joint law and MSW degree. [UMB School of Social Work - MSW/JD](http://www.ssw.umaryland.edu/academic_programs/dual_degrees/msw_jd/)

Good luck!
