A law school is an educational institution that trains lawyers. It is universally required for lawyers in the United States. Typically, a student must spend three years in law school to earn a J.D. (Juris Doctor, Latin for 'doctor of law') degree. Some law schools may also offer a PhD in law. Most prospective lawyers need an undergraduate degree to be admitted, and admission to law school is competitive. A J.D. degree, along with passing the bar examination, will grant a person legal license to work as an attorney.
