JD/MBA for venture capital / entrepreneurs

How useful do you think a JD/MBA could be for a venture capitalist / entrepreneur? How valued is law experience for someone who wants to be an investor or an entrepreneur, especially in a more regulated field (maybe health care)?

Would a career path involving doing a JD/MBA and then spending a couple of years in consulting or at a law firm allow for someone to jump over to a VC?
