If you want to practice aviation law, then take lots of Federal Administrative law classes in law school, since 90% of aviation law is federal government regulatory and agency practice. There are a few lawyers out there that specifically practice Aviation Law, but most are just regular old run of the mill federal regulatory lawyers, since most aspects of the practice are virtually the same as any other regulatory agency law and as long as you're going to learn that stuff, which BTW is excessively boring in most peoples' book, you might as well not limit the application of that knowledge to one narrow area. In other words, unless you think you can successfully build a practice in avaition only, you might as well do essentially the same thing in the areas of energy, utilities, trucking, rail transport, admiralty, etc.
Not to discourage you, but if you love aviation, working in that area of the law has a great deal of potential to help you to grow to hate it. I believe it is generally a bad idea to try to work in an area where you find personal joy, since it eventually becomes just a lot of work and you begin to detest it. That's just me though and some folks can handle that duality, but it is something for you to consider.
