total years?
what to major in?
4 years of college and 3 years of law school.
I heard that that takes a while at least 5 years
getting an undergrad degree generally takes about 4 years. law school generally takes about another 3 years. Few lawyers get an advanced degree beyond that. How long it takes for you to establish a practice is up to you. I would recommend working with others, and getting some court experience, such as a DA or PD before trying to open your own shop.
major in law, criminology, or something similar, then go to law school, then take the bar exam, and finally get a job in a practice that does those types cases. how long it takes depends on how long it personally takes you to do all that.
