Alan’s Answer

Law school is a journey that spans three years. There's a possibility for you to complete it a semester ahead of schedule if you take on extra credits. However, given the rigorous workload of law school, it's wise not to exceed the suggested credit limit. Remember, a single semester in law school can encompass more knowledge than a full year in college. So, take it step by step, and relish the learning process. You've got this!

Job’s Answer

You will need a 4 year degree, BS, BA and law school can be as short as 3 years or go as long as 6 years depending on how many classes you take at a time. I graduated in 3 years.

Cammeo’s Answer

Generally you would need a 4 year degree + 3 years of law school. If you're looking for a career in law that requires less schooling, I would suggest looking at roles as a legal assistant/law clerk/legal secretary or a paralegal. I wanted to go to law school but I became a paralegal instead which took me 2-3 years in Canada. I know Paralegals that make more money than many of the lawyers I know so it's definitely a great option to look into.
