like what field of study would that be at a college level?
Answer by crimedoc
Lawyers who are employed by government agencies (local, state, or federal) have earned a law degree from an accredited law school.
As to what to major in as an undegraduate, if you are pre-law, pretty much anything. However, if you are seriously looking towards a job in government, a major such as public administration or political science would probably help a lot.

Answer by Dana B
There are many undergraduate fields of study which could lead to a legal career...political science, English, philosophy, history, even science...there is no one undergraduate degree you have to have to go to law school. People who know they want to go to law school and already know what field of law they want to specialize in may choose an undergraduate major relevant to that field. Lawyers who work for the government have a law degree just like any other lawyer, they just took a job with the government rather than in private practice, that's all, and lawyers frequently change from private practice to a government job or vice versa.
