How many years to become a lawyer?

Answer 1

You need a bachelor's degree to start. It may be in criminal justice, business, history, political science or any other major. After this you need to take the LSAT and get into a law school. It takes three years to get your J.D. and another year to get your L.L.M. At most it will be eight years.

Answer 2

About 4 years in undergrad, and about 3 years of law school, then the bar exam will be a couple months later and results usually take a few months after that.

So all out, it's about 7-8 years if you go full time.
