I recently posted this on the EA subreddit and was recommended to ask here (and am very surprised I've found so little info about legal careers on here!)

I am currently in my first year of law school and am trying to figure out what area of law I want to practice. I'd really like to do something impactful by EA standards, so I'd love to hear ideas of what (realistic/attainable) types of law careers might be best for that. This isn't my only way of exploring careers, I am interested in appellate work and science/technology law so looking into those areas, just want to also look from a lens of impact in addition to interest. My undergrad degree is in philosophy, but I was a chemistry major for 3.5yrs of college so am most likely patent bar eligible through category B. 

I am located in New England and plan to stay in the area, and would like to find opportunities that are realistically attainable for someone at a T125 law school with a pretty lackluster resume so far; something like international human rights law is probably not going to happen for me. Would love any advice/thoughts!
