Law school is a completely new experience. You will learn a new way of thinking. Your fellow students will all be intelligent high-achievers.
Preparation for and attendance at every class are extremely important, as is comprehensive note-taking.
In common law jurisdictions, law is taught by the casebook method. During your three years of law, you will study roughly 10,000 cases. You will be expected to come to class fully prepared, ready to discuss each case and debate with your professor and fellow students how it differs from other similar cases. You will analyze the thinking of judges.
A typical first year student will study Contract Law, Property Law, Criminal Law, Tort Law, Procedural Law, Constitutional Law, and one or two optional law courses.
Following most courses, there will be a three-hour final exam. It will usually be an "open book" exam, i.e., you will be able to bring your books and notes into the exam and refer to them throughout the exam. It will be of great benefit in an exam to have a well organized set of notes to which you can refer.

You can find a list of law school application deadlines on the websites of individual law schools or on centralized application services like LSAC (Law School Admission Council) for applicants in the United States or the Ontario Law School Application Service (OLSAS) for Canadian applicants.

If you're in the US, the classes you take in high school will not matter for law school. You will not have to report your high school classes or grades to the law schools you are applying to. You will have to send your undergraduate transcript to law schools. You would be well advised to take classes that are challenging but that you enjoy. You do not need to have any specific major to get into law school. So if you take classes you like, you will do well in them and will get good grades, which will improve your chances of getting into law school.
The location of the law school is not important. What is important is where you pass the bar exam.

In the U.S., judges go to law school just like lawyers. The standard course of law school study is 3 years. However, very few people become judges straight out of law school - they usually practice law for many years and develop a reputation for being an excellent lawyer, with extensive legal knowledge, before they have a chance of becoming a judge.
