After you graduate from an accredited law school and pass a state bar exam.
Eventually, sure. They will just have to finish Middle School, graduate high school, graduate college, graduate law school, pass the bar exam and then they can be a lawyer.

Anyone can become a lawyer if they graduate law school and pass the bar exam.

In the US, you have to be a member of the bar for your state. In most states you must pass the bar exam to be admitted. In order to sit for the bar exam you have to graduate from a recognized law school after completing a bachelor's degree.
J.D. stands for Juris Doctor. This is the degree that people earn when they graduate from law school. Attorney at law means the person finished law school and is licensed to practice by the state bar association. Most J.D.s are attorneys, but a person who finishes law school yet does not obtain a law license would still be a J.D., though not an attorney at law.
After getting a bachelor's degree, you would have to successfully complete law school. Then you would have to be admitted to the bar, which requires passing a background check and passing the bar exam. With the license, you can then apply for employment with various firms and corporations.
