US Law School admissions require that you have:
- A U.S. Bachelor's degree or its equivalent (4 years of university education)
- LSAT scores
- Recommendation Letters
- TOEFL scores (for international students)
- Possibly a full application submitted through LSAC
- Financial Statement
Note that the previous answer is incorrect. GMAT scores are not used for admission into a law degree program. GMAT scores are used for MBA and Business School programs.
The Juris Doctor (JD) program typically lasts 3 years. Once you graduate with a law degree, you will be eligible to sit for the bar exam from the state where you wish to practice. California seems to be the only state that allows students with online JD degrees to sit for the bar. Concordia University, I believe, is a school that provides an online JD program.
If you get a law degree from your country, then you will be eligible to apply for a Master's of Laws degree in the USA. Most law schools offer this degree. Once you graduate with this degree, you will be eligible to sit for the bar exam at most states. Note that you will not be able to practice as a lawyer in the USA unless you pass the bar exam.
Good luck!

the most inexpensive element to do is to bypass to regulation college area-time at the same time as operating complete-time to help cover your prices. or you would evaluate going to a state funded college because they have an inclination to be a lot less intense priced than inner most faculties. Or a wide decision is to get a job at your college of decision and attempt to get huge-spread at that regulation college. this manner you're able to get education free or discounted as an worker.
