Full time? The same number of years as everyone else: three.

You mean medical malpractice?
Depends, in some states with enough legal experience and at least one year of law school you can take the bar.
But more than likely you need to go to law school for 3 years full-time or 4 years part-time where available. And then take the bar exam.

Its not the law school that will take up your time. You will spend many years accumulating the knowledge and experience necessary to prevail in court on such cases.
Remember that the other side has a right to legal representation too, and they will choose experienced attorneys who have decades of experience in trial law and specific knowledge. In fact, some of them hold MD degrees, as well as being attorneys. Becoming a specialist in such litigation is no small feat, and to my knowledge there is no law school that specializes in Medical Malpractice. That's information you get from seminars and private training from private practice specialists who have been in that field for many years. They don't part with this knowledge for free.
Being an attorney is akin to joining the Army and wanting to individually stand out. You will have hundreds of thousands of other lawyers desiring the same result, and more are being produced every day. It is an extremely crowded profession, and its getting more congested every year.
Before you invest a small fortune and years of your life, you should speak to an attorney who practices law and get a realistic understanding of what you are about to embark upon.

It doesn't matter what type of law you want to practice. Law school is 3 years (Full-Time) or 4-5 years (Part-Time)
