1. Usually 4 yrs of college, 3 yrs of law school. Downside: You want to get as good grades as you can during college to get into the best law school you can. Upside: there's no such thing as pre-law, so there are no courses you HAVE to take before law school. So follow what interests you and do your best!
2. You will have 4 years of college or more. you need to be genius kid, like Straight a+ student or just A student. If you isnt genius, you will need to go college more longer for 7 years, I hope my advice help!
3. 4 years of college. No required courses or major, but it helps to take something that is reading & writing intensive, and forces you to analyze things on your own, and apply broad concepts to specific situations/ideas (a social science like Political Science, or Econ, e.g.). Then you have to take the LSAT. While good grades in college certainly matter, the LSAT is actually weighted more than your GPA. Then, you just apply to law school, which is usually 3 years (unless you take an evening or dual-degree program).
4. Just wanted to chime in and say that Mak and Zucca are correct. Marina is incorrect.
