Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement

Formal requirements to become a lawyer usually include a 4-year college degree, 3 years of law school, and passing a written bar examination; however, some requirements vary by State. Competition for admission to most law schools is intense. Federal courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them.

Education and training. Becoming a lawyer usually takes 7 years of full-time study after high school—4 years of undergraduate study, followed by 3 years of law school. Law school applicants must have a bachelor’s degree to qualify for admission. To meet the needs of students who can attend only part time, a number of law schools have night or part-time divisions.

    I could not stand to be in education that long. Though perhaps if you're really interested in the subject it wouldn't be quite as bad. Also; I imagine it's structured a bit differently from standard education.

    A lot of schooling, but I'm sure the paycheck makes it worth it.

    7 years? It sounds much more appealing to become a normal police officer now :) Will have to see where I end up, I might not be able to become one as I'm color blind

    Isn't it California that doesn't have a BAR? Wherever it is, why would anyone get their degree anywhere but there?
