Is law school a good idea in 2016?

idk im an engineering major

as long as people break the laws there will be a demand though, right?

For a crown/state lawyer probably. Though with less people in the middle class I'm not so sure.

what kind of law do you want to do and do you have any family connections in law?

It's probably one of the jobs that won't be taken over by machines too soon, so sounds like a decent plan.

Although you should focus more on whether you like it or not. Assuming you're not an idiot, almost any degree offers you viable options for the future.

Only if you go to a good law school.

Criminal, but I'm not adamant with it. My grandfather is a chief prosecutor but not in Canada, where I'm in atm.

It's not worth it, unless you have someone offering you a job that you know will keep their word. I just finished and passed the bar, and a lot of my classmates couldn't find decent work. Some decided not to even take the bar, just went into civil service

ouch. I was in engineering but switched into accounting when I hit a wall in classes. I would never take the law route. Accounting blows, but its applied law. Atleast when I graduate I can wake up and say I have a skill to work with. Although ultimately I think I'll go for a trade if I hit a wall in this field.

only if you meet one of each of these criteria
1. Have family connections that you're absolutley sure will get you work
2. Go to a top 10 or equivalent law school in your country
countries smaller than the US probably have to go for top 8 or 5
