Area of practice

abhere

For personal statements, or through other application requirements, to what extent should you address the type of practice you intend to pursue? What degree do adcoms expect an applicant to know what they want to do? Is it enough to express general interest in certain areas without a clear idea of where you want to end up? Is this even expected to be expressed in any part of the application at all or is it typically the case that applicants aren't fixated on a type of practice?

Most applications have check boxes for what type of law "interests" you. Most of the questions actually ackowledge that most incoming law students have no idea but ask you to give a general idea.

You don't have to address this anywhere on your application.

I know many people change their "nobler" plans once in law school but what about someone who really really wants to work in a specific field? Shouldn't one talk about how it ties with everything else?
