Politics is to politician as law is to what?

A hypernym for lawyer/judge/law student, etc.

The Bar usually refers to "lawyers or the legal profession" (see noun sense 14 in wiktionary) but I've occasionally seen it applied to the judiciary as well. (The judiciary is "The court system and judges considered collectively, the judicial branch of government".)
