That varies greatly based on the schools in question. Many schools will take the major into account as well as the GPA. Real life experience is also going to be a factor. Some use a combination of the GPA and the LSAT to make the determination.

The path to law school is high school --> bachelors degree --> law school. Thus, the high school GPA would be somewhat irrelevant when it comes to law school application provided that the undergraduate GPA of the applicant was good.
No, a 4.0 GPA is not required to attend law school. They will also consider your topic of study, your age, your LSAT scores and your application.
Law schools are not concerned with your Grade 8 GPA. They want to see your college GPA.
It depends on the law school, a 3.5 GPA is usually the median for an average school. Look at your specific school's page to see if they have the 25th/75th percentiles posted.
All GPA's are leveraged against a 4.0 grading scale by LSAC (LSDAS). Your leveraged or adjusted (New) GPA will be posted upon receipt of all transcripts. To qualify for law school admissions (as stated by LSAC) you require a minimum of a 120 LSAT score and a 1.0 adjusted GPA
The required grade point average for law school varies from school to school. At UNC School of Law the required GPA for the first year is 2.2, and 2.25 each year after. At The University of Akron, The University of San Diego School of Law, and The University of Michigan Law School you must maintain a 2.0 average. At Lewis & Clark Law School you need to maintain a 1.8 GPA at the end of the first year, and a 2.0 GPA every year after.
Most schools do not have an official minimum (some may admit applicants from ivy league schools with 2.1 GPAs) but it is generally recommended to reconsider applying to law school if your GPA is less than a 3.0, although the median GPA for average-to-good school is around a 3.5/3.6 and higher for top law schools. Check with the specific schools you are interested in and see if they have an official minimum. They probably will not.
Requirements to get into law school include criteria such as the Law School Admissions Tests (LSAT), a well rounded course schedule for your undergraduate transcripts, a GPA (usually above 3.5), and a personal statement.
