I need to finish my bachor's, I have three years to go and I want my degree in Criminal Jstice. Then I want to get my Master's in Criminal Justice and then go to law school to get my law degree. I'm assuming Law school takes about 3 years. Masters-2 years...am I even close?

You may want to inquire at George Washington School of Law. They have a program in place by which they are seeking candidates for their 6 year dual major JD program from high school. With your one year of college, you may be able to transfer your credits into this program. The value of the program is that it will reduce you education for obtaining a JD degree in law by one full year. And you will NOT be required to take the LSAT.
You may want to inquire on this program. It is not readily advertised however with your desire and current college grades, you may qualify for this program. And good luck on pursuing your goals..............

Law school is on average 3 yrs. Masters does take 2 years. You can go straight to law school out of undergrad school though!

You should also look for law schools that offer dual degrees. For example University of Baltimore law.ubalt.edu/academics/concentrations/combined/jdms1.html offers a combined program where you can get a JD/MS in Criminal Justice in 4 years. This shaves one year off your current option. Check it out. I'm quite sure this isn't the only school that has this option.

You can save yourself 2 years if you skip the masters.

depends how quickly you can pass the bar exam! that can be a tough one... but as long as you're going at it good then about 6-8 more years before you have more cash than you know what to do with..
