same as every other lawyer – long enough to graduate law school (which caries) and pass the bar in your state (which also varies).
Seven years, four for any undergraduate degree and three for law school.
Family law attorneys do not do criminal defense work, different court systems, different rules, different charges. Family law is generally restraining orders, divorce work, child custody, etc.
I hate to be the one to break this to you, but juvenile defense attorneys never rake in a lot of money. They’re usually people who — brace yourself — are more concerned with kids than how much money they make.
To answer your question: 3 years is the typical time people spend in law school no matter what kind of law you study.
