Parents want to invest in me in the future, what is the best way to do this?

what does that mean? Do you mean firm owners make the same as prosecutors/p.d's? Or do you mean it is a given that when someone wants to own their own firm, they must have experience with prosecuting or being a public defender?

I guess the next sentence after that did not clarify so...working as a PD/Prosecutor gives you excellent practical experience with trial work and all aspects of litigation. Walking out of law school does not mean you know how to file a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, let alone conduct proper discovery and subsequent trial work. There are other ways to get experience, but being a PD is "low-risk" compared to working with a firm. This is because you can mess up more with clients who don't pay (being a PD), rather than have your boss complain when you mess up stuff and lose a case and maybe a client. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
