Are Law degrees useful?

Outside of the Legal profession are Law degrees respected and sought after by employers, or are Law graduate in general confined to jobs within the Legal profession?

I know quite a few law degree holders who went into accounting/auditing. Apparently they are highly desirable. Not sure on Irish figures but certainly recent US figures are showing that about 50% of law grads stick with law, the rest go into alternative careers.
