You won't be paying for it.  It's not your child.

I'm not a lawyer.  I have friends who went to law school.  For some, it has worked out (none of them are Biglaw).  For others, they changed careers.  None of them are unemployed or not doing well.

If you discourage her and she ends up regretting *not* going to law school, you will be blamed.

She's an adult.  She can make her own decisions.  Don't try to micromanage someone else's life.

She's not an adult.  She's an underperforming student who's afraid to enter the real work world, and therefore she's hoping to delay it by hiding out at school for another 3+ years, without a plan of what she can realistically do with her degrees.  
I know far too many people who keep "pursuing their education" with no end goal or plan to support themselves.
Your niece will still be living with her parents at age 30, with a mountain of debt and a job making $45K.
