Before applying for admission to law school, candidates must complete a Bachelor’s degree of their choice as ABA doesn’t require a law major. Additionally, prospective law students must take the LSAT exam. After getting admitted to law school, candidates usually spend three years in a traditional, full-time Juris Doctor program. However, note that accelerated programs can be finished in just two years, while opting for part-time JD studies means that you’ll spend at least four years in school.
