No you don't. The MAJORITY of accredited law schools require this, however some have special programs that allow for students meeting certain requirements to attend law school without having a bachelor's degree.

Unaccredited law schools, which tend to have lower admission requirements are also an option worth investigation.

Several states also allow you to study law without attending law school at all. Instead using the more traditional path of "apprenticing" under a practicing attorney.

Most states will let you sit for their bar after you have been a practicing attorney in some other state for a certain period of time.
