I went the other direction. My advice would be to make pretty certain you know you'll like whichever area of law you want to go into.

I thought I would like corporate law especially working with startups. I got a job doing pretty much exactly what I wanted to do, but I didn't actually like it and only practiced for a year.

In my limited, purely anecdotal experience, comparing my developer friends and my lawyer friends, a much larger percentage of my lawyer friends hate their jobs.
