don’t even look at those job descriptions you’re seeing. those are for lateral attorneys looking to move from firm to firm. it’s a whole different ballgame when you’re coming out of law school. assuming you’re attending a decent law school, you’ll have firms looking to recruit you. when you interview, express an interest in real estate law and hope that they’ll put you in the real estate section should you get a summer clerkship/full time position. if your school doesn’t have a big on-campus interviewing program, send out resumes to all firms in your desired market that have large real estate groups. express your interest in the cover letter.

beyond that, however, if you want to go to law school you should not even be thinking about what type of attorney you wish to be. it is almost certainly bound to change once you enter law school and begin taking all the different types of classes. since law school is a general education, you’ll be exposed to all different types of law. hope this helps! feel free to email if you have questions.
