Most schools do not have an official minimum (some may admit applicants from Ivy League schools with 2.1 GPAs) but it is generally recommended to reconsider applying to law school if your GPA is less than a 3.0, although the median GPA for average-to-good school is around a 3.5/3.6 and higher for top law schools.
Check with the specific schools you are interested in and see if they have an official minimum. They probably will not.
When doing law school admissions, it's not just the GPA they will be looking at. You would be better off with at least a 3.0+ GPA, however approximately 70% of the admissions process is going to be determined by your LSAT score (Law School Admission Test), and that score should be as high as possible.
There is no minimum GPA for lawschools, there is always a school out there that will take you. However, to get into a top school you will need at least a 3.5, but preferably around a 3.7......... the school is not to important to law schools, but the LSAT is. If you have a 3.5 or better and a excellent LSAT score,(160+) you will be admitted to an elite school.
There is no one required GPA for law school. Your best bet is to check the specific schools to which you'd like to apply; some schools have minimum GPA requirements, but many don't.

Law schools are not concerned with your Grade 8 GPA. They want to see your college GPA.
It depends on the law school, a 3.5 GPA is usually the median for an average school. Look at your specific school's page to see if they have the 25th/75th percentiles posted.

At The University of Akron, The University of San Diego School of Law, and The University of Michigan Law School you must maintain a 2.0 average. At Lewis & Clark Law School you need to maintain a 1.8 GPA at the end of the first year, and a 2.0 GPA every year after.
All GPA's are leveraged against a 4.0 grading scale by LSAC (LSDAS). Your leveraged or adjusted (New) GPA will be posted upon receipt of all transcripts. To qualify for law school admissions (as stated by LSAC) you require a minimum of a 120 LSAT score and a 1.0 adjusted GPA
You can't go to law school right after high school; one of the minimum requirements for entrance to law school is an undergraduate college degree, preferably with a very high GPA.
