Okay, so I'm a 2L who realized that she picked the wrong school to go to and now my preferred field of law is halfway across the country. I'd love to go to one of their (many) networking events centered around this field, but I'm thinking that employers would not look favorably on this. Plus, it's an event that takes place during the second half of the semester.
So what would you do if you needed to network halfway across the country?
Would it look back to go to another school's networking events? Forum

Try and find an alum of your school who practices in the area you are interested in... reach out to them and see what type of advice (if any) you can get from them.
No input on going to another school's event; although I'm not sure that would be kosher. Again, probably not the right place to ask -- reach out to the other school, or the org hosting the event and see what they say.

Hello:
You may always contact the host of the event and see what their stance is on the matter, whether other students from other universities will attend, and if it is recommended and open to outside students/individuals.
Try interning or even contacting an individual, student, or alumni who is currently practicing in the area you wish to. This will give you a better idea and give you feedback on how to end up practicing in that area.
