Answer 1: A two-year associates degree, no matter the subject, is 60 semester credit hours. A four-year bachelors degree, no matter the subject, is 120 semester credit hours.
It depends, I admit, on the school, though. Some schools award associates degrees that contain 63 or 66, give or take, semester credit hours; and some schools award Bachelors Degrees that contain 123 or 128, give or take, semester credit hours. But, by and large, most associates degrees are 60, and most bachelors are 120. Period.
So, then...
If you want an Associate of Science (AS) in Sociology (or, at some schools, it might be an Associate of Arts (AA)) degree, then it'll be around 60 semester credit hours.
If, on the other hand, you want an Bachelor of Science (BS) in Sociology (or, at some schools, it might be an Bachelor of Arts (BA)) degree, then it's be around 120 semester credit hours.
Either way, you'll take the same basic courses in what's called "Lower Division General Education" (LDGE), which consist of courses across a wide range of subject areas -- most of which have nothing to do with a sociology degree -- so that you'll get a broadly-based general education, in many areas, in addition to the course in your sociology major.
LDGE, at most schools -- and, again, this is regardless whether it's an associates or bachelors -- tends to be from 30 to as many as 45 semester credit hours; and so LDGE, alone, will take-up at least 1/2 to as much as 2/3 of an associates degree (or 1/4 to 3/8 of a bachelors degree). The rest of the courses, in either case, will be a combination of both general electives, and courses in the major (and in the minor, if you declare on... though typically only bachelors degrees allow the declaration of a minor).
The actual requirements are set by the law school. Most require about 82 hours to graduate. Some allow you to take up to ten percent of the classes on a pass/fail basis.
You need a law degree. That is typically going to be 80 to 90 credits in law school.
To study law, you typically need a bachelor's degree followed by a juris doctor (J.D.) degree from a law school. The number of points or credits required for a J.D. program can vary but usually ranges from 80 to 90 credits. This will take approximately 3 years to complete full-time.
An associates (two year program of study) in criminal justice can require 60 to 64 credits to complete, depending on the institution and state mandate. A bachelors degree (four year program of study) between 120 and 128 credits.
In order to get a law degree, you must first have a Bachelor's degree. You will then need to continue schooling for an additional 3 to 4 years, which will require another 80-90 credits.
Within the US, there is no such thing as a bachelor's degree in law. You must obtain a juris doctor (JD) degree.

You need to get into law school first. So that means you need a bachelor's degree. Usually political science, history, criminal justice, and sociology are good places to start. Focus on passing in high school and staying on-track through your bachelor's degree. You have plenty of time to worry about classes for law school when working on your pre-law bachelor's.
