Can i be a medical malpractice lawyer?
Yes, if you become a licensed lawyer. Lawyers typically need a law degree and a state license, which usually means passing a bar exam. That usually takes about 7 years of full-time study after high school: 4 years of college and 3 years of law school. Once licensed, lawyers can specialize in particular fields of law. The sources I have don't mention medical malpractice specifically. Licensing is done by each state, so exact requirements depend on where you want to practice.
When a lawyer helpsIf you are thinking about a legal career, your state bar's admissions office can tell you exactly what is required where you live.
