how long does it generally take to have enough experience to practice on your own?

Experience is relevant only to the degree it lets you develop a book that generates enough of a revenue stream to run an office and support whomever relies on you.

MALPRACTICE??????????

I have no idea what I'm talking about. Ignore me.

If you have a book of business, you've been practicing a few years, and I just don't think the complexity of the cases that arrive at a sole practitioner's office are going to trip him/her up. But I'm a 2L, and do not have my own shop, so maybe I'm wrong.

It depends on:
1. What you mean by "experience"
2. What area of law you want to work in
3. if you have developed "business sense"

It is way more complicated than those three overly simplified topics. But basically.
