Going to college for family law?
Sarah M asked:
So I want to go to college and be like a family attorney but when I look at the categories, which one do I want to pick? Civil law etc.? When I say college I mean the basic colleges. Just FYI.
I didn’t mean I wanted to go into civil law.. I want to be a family attorney. But thank you

My mother went into civil law. She’s doing quite well. She was going into criminal law, but had an older aquaintance in New Orleans who was putting the bad guys away. Her friend was shot in broad daylight in a public park while on her morning jog. Something to think about. Lamb

If you are in the US you must earn a bachelors degree before even applying to law school, you must have a law degree to be a lawyer of any type. You can get your bachelors degree in any major that you want.
Family law is civil law, anything not criminal is civil. Regardless, right now you just need to choose a major that interest you (avoid pre law which is not required) and is challenging.
Then note that you do not specialize in law school, you just take a bunch of courses on different subjects and specialize by getting a job in the area you want to practice after you have taken the bar exam, in your case family law. daaaave
