Philip Deramo worked hard during his early academic career to earn a place on the state of Connecticut’s prosecution team. He excelled in law school and developed as much experience as he could while clerking for attorneys and taking internships when he could. Many lawyers apply to be prosecutors only after they have developed considerable professional experience as litigators, but Philip Deramo was able to get a seat at the table by earning an Assistant State Prosecutor post in Connecticut. While all lawyers have to earn a bachelor’s degree, then a law degree, then pass the bar exam in their state, becoming a prosecutor usually takes years of trial experience. Deramo was able to get his position in the state prosecutor’s office by honing his courtroom experience as a moot court judge in law school.
