Like most questions, the answer is "it depends".
If you work for yourself, you can have as many as you want.
If you work for the government, you would (probably) get federal and state holidays.
If you work for a corporation, they would have set holidays - in the U.S., it's generally 6-10/year. This can vary depending on what KIND of law you do and what the company does.
If you work for a large law firm, it may be zero.

Not a lawyer myself. but, having done support work for a Civil Rights lawyer, who owned his own practice, I can tell you that man worked nights, weekends, holidays, and family "vacations."
He took his fair share of "me" time, but it depended on caseload.
I imagine even an attorney employed by the US Government would be working on a holiday if she had a big case scheduled for trial the next day.
But, not all law is trial law. There are some types of law where the workday is more predictable, and the workflow is more scheduled. So, it depends.
What type of law appeals to you?
