To become a lawyer within the US, it takes four years for the bachelor's degree post high school completion, and three years of law school to obtain the juris doctor (JD) degree, which is awarded to those who complete law school successfully. Next, the graduate must pass the bar-exam within the state he/she wishes to practice.
