How many years of school are needed to practice tax law?

Answer 1

Within the United States, it will take four years for the bachelor's degree and an additional three years of law school to obtain the Juris Doctor (JD) degree. You will also have to pass the written bar exam.

Answer 2

In the United States, the vast majority of law schools are accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA). The ABA requires that accredited law schools offer the equivalent of three full years of schooling.

Some schools offer part-time programs, in which case, these credits are earned over more than three years.

Also, some schools offer school credits during Summer and some allow for increased credit loads during the school year, thus making it possible to receive the equivalent of three years of course credit in less than three full years.

Answer 3

The requirements are similar for those who want to be a lawyer. At least a 4-year college degree and three years at law school are preferred, although some firms might have variations.
