Patent law and other areas that require technical degrees in addition to a law degree often have the highest billing rates.

Corporate law, specifically venture capital and securities work, can be the most lucrative because you are often given the opportunity to co-invest with your clients.

Class action plaintiffs attorneys can make huge fortunes (tabacco lawyers, asbestos lawyers, etc.) but most will go their whole career without even getting a good case, let alone winning the "big one."

Yes, I did quite a few co-invests in hedge funds, private equity funds, and one direct investment. Maybe $1.2 million in the aggregate.

A few of the riskier funds did well, beating the markets by 5-8% year-over-year. Most of the funds were +/- 2% to the market. The direct invest was a bust, but that was only $10K. Overall, I was left mostly unimpressed by hedge funds and private equity funds, and have not invested any new money in them in the last eight years.
