(J.D.) Juris Doctor or Doctor of Jurisprudence.
AnswerYou have to have a four year degree (Bachelor's) and take the LSAT to apply to law school to get your Juris Doctor degree (3 yr degree) before being able to take the bar exam of the state you desire to get licensed in. AnswerIn most states a J.D. is required. There are a number that will allow you to take the bar without a degree if you can show experience and study in the legal field. Most law schools require a bachelor's degree for admittance, but there are some schools that may grant a waiver to those working in the legal field, but they are rare.

∙ 13y agoAfter obtaining a bachelor's degree, you would apply to a law school for a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree. This degree would take 3 to 4 years, depending on whether you go full time. Finally, you have to pass the Bar Exam for your state in order to practice law.
Education and training. Becoming a lawyer usually takes 7 years of full-time study after high school-4 years of undergraduate study, followed by 3 years of law school. Law school applicants must have a bachelor's degree to qualify for admission. To meet the needs of students who can attend only part time, a number of law schools have night or part-time divisions.
To qualify for the bar examination in most States, an applicant must earn a college degree and graduate from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) or the proper State authorities.
