You'll need a four year degree from a college/university, and then another 3 years of law school. You can go to some law schools part time, and that will take you 4 years to complete.

In the US, you need an undergraduate degree, which usually takes around 4 years to complete if you a are a full-time student. Once you are in law school, if you are attending class full time, then it is usually a three year program to complete. After that, you study and take the bar exam, and then once you pass, you are able to practice as an attorney. Good luck!

If you go full time, it's a 3 year commitment to earn your J.D. The time varies if you choose to pursue an LLM, an LLB, etc.

The simple answer is it depends.
Three years if you are a full time student. It is up to you, but this will make it very difficult to have a full time job. I would suggest trying to get some type of experience even if you are doing the full time student route.
You can also do night time classes and not be a full time student, which will allow you to have income. I would also suggest trying to get a job that pays something with experience in the law.
I hope this helps. If my question did not help you, please consult another attorney. This communication does not create a lawyer client relationship.
Good luck!
