Good morning Prakash. The first thing you will need to do is to make sure that you continue to keep your GPA up as you finish high school. You will need to take the college entrance exam required to get into the college of your choice. You will need to choose your major for college. It does not really matter what you decide on for your major in college although I myself think that either math or English. The reason I think that either of these is good for someone that is wanting to go into Law is that math will teach you analytical skills and English will teach you to write well. Both of these are very important for a lawyer.
After you graduate from college you will go to a three year law school where you will take classes that will prepare you to take the bar exam in the state that you will practice law in. Once you graduate from law school you will study for, take and pass the bar exam. Each state has its own bar exam so based on what state you are going to practice in you will follow their recommendations as to what bar exam review course to take or do your own research and decide what is best for you.
Good luck and best wishes on your choice of career!

Best of luck to you. You can do anything you put your mind to! So do great work in school. Be disciplined. Also take an undergraduate degree in an area of interest you enjoy. This could be the area of law you specialize in. I liked business and received a BS in accounting. I then became a business attorney.
