Bankruptcy. It's always in demand, and personal bankruptcies are usually simple enough that a secretary can complete the forms. All the lawyer really has to do is attend the hearings. (Of course, this is a very broad generalization, but most of the bankruptcy attorneys I know or have worked with have done pretty well with very little actual work).
