What are ALL of the degrees needed to become a Prosecutor? To become a Criminal Defense Attorney? The classes needed to be taken? I need all of the information.
You only need a law degree which should enable you to pass the Bar exam and be a licensed attorney. This means you need to understand all the laws, such as business contracts, real estate etc. There is no specific degree for criminal law. After you can apply for a position as a Assistant DA or with a criminal defense law firm. There you would learn hands on criminal law practice. The point is after a law degree, you would have covered all the legal courses needed. So it would be pointless for a Lawyer to get a Criminal Justice Degree after being a lawyer already.
