How many high school credits are needed to be a lawyer?

Answer 1

There is no direct relationship between the two.

To get into most colleges, you need to EITHER graduate high school or get a GED. You may also have to pass pre-college tests with some minimum score, but in many cases it's the sum total of your achievements and your fluency in describing them that governs access to college.

IF you graduate high school, you need as many credits as the school requires, in the subject areas required by the school.

At your particular high school, a guidance counselor is probably best equipped to tell you which classes, at that particular school, prepare you for college, and for law school.

It is your performance at college that will govern your ability to get a law degree, and that, too, varies depending on what college or university you go to.

If you know what law program you wish to attend, find their college requirements. Then look at that college, and consider what they want of entering high school graduates. That's what you need to do in high school. Do as much of it as you are capable of, and volunteer, do internships, work in political campaigns, and otherwise get as much exposure to the legal system you can (but not from the defendant's side of the bench, so to speak).
