How does one become a laywer?
Get a JD or LLB from an ABA accredited university (or one thats been provisionally accredited), then pass the bar in your particular state (unless your state allows otherwise. Ie Wisconsin will let you join their state bar by having a law degree from either UW Madison or I believe Marquette. NY still has an arcane rule that you can go one year at [NY?] law school and take the NY bar). Of course while I dont believe its a state bar requirement you're going to need a 4 year college degree to gain admission to an ABA law school.
