The requirements for the practice of law are set by the states. In most states you must have a law degree in order to take the bar exam. A few states will allow you to take the exam if you have practical experience in the field of law.

No, "pre-law" is not a requirement for law school. Most law schools have required COURSEWORK (that is, classes that you will be required to take before matriculating), but which degree you took those courses under is immaterial. "Pre-law" is merely a degree tailored to guarantee that you get these courses.
What matters more is your LSAT score, and the school you went to for your undergraduate degree, and the amount of networking with people you can do to get a favorable rating passed to the law school you are applying for. DON'T underestimate the latter - it counts for a huge amount in most places, so butter up those profs of yours to find out who has contacts at the law school you'll be applying to!

∙ 14y agoYes you do. One of the requirements for law school is a bachelor's degree, with completion of all prerequisite coursework. The Bachelor's degree would take four years as a full-time student provided you take the degree as prescribed by the college or university. Then it would take three years of law school to obtain the juris doctor degree (JD). Lastly, to practice law, you must pass the bar-exam.
