You need a bachelor's degree. This typically takes 4 years.
Law school normally takes another 3 years (4 for the night programs).
You can apply for a DA job after that. County DA jobs are the easiest prosecuting jobs to get. City attorneys are easier if there is one in your area.
Interning during law school is the easiest way to get your foot in the door and a job with them right after law school.

First of all your undergraduate studies will take 4 years, and law school is usually 3 years (full time), 4 years if you go part-time. So total 7-8 years of school to become a lawyer.

Usually four years of college followed by three years of law school, just like any other lawyer.

You have to go to college (4 year degree) and then go to law school (3 years) and then pass the Bar Exam.

You will probably need about four years of undergraduate education and a bachelor's degree, plus about three years of law school to get your Doctorate of Jurisprudence (JD) and pass your state's bar exam. What field of law you want to pursue as a career is based on your interest and clerk/internships you are able to get. You will hear a great deal more about that as you get closer to law school.

prosecuting lawyers usually have to do clerking before they get hired to do prosecutions. so although you go to school for 6-7 years, you can't just waltz into a prosecutor job..

7... 4 years of pre-law, 3 years of law school, then you can go into whatever type of law you want.
