Anyone using their law degree to help with their investment strategies?

[Sara T.]

I'm an attorney with a practice that has nothing to do with real estate.  Lately I've been wondering if I can self-study other legal practice areas (e.g., liens or zoning laws) and leverage my legal background to find an investment niche.  

For those of you that are lawyers, have you found that your legal training has helped you with your investment endeavors?  And if yes, how so?
