After you get your undergraduate degree, you can apply to law school. If you are accepted, law school takes 3 years. After you graduate with your J.D., you take the bar exam in the state in which you want to practice.
As far as required coursework, most law schools don't have any beyond an undergraduate degee (in anything) from an accredited university.

This depends on where you live or what school you plan to go to. In California, you can be a chemistry major and still go to law school. In fact, in about six states, you can completely skip law school, take the bar and still become a lawyer. But, if you're looking for something that is going to concretely set you up for law school, check out a pre-law major, criminology major, or political science. And I definietly recommend working at a law firm, to get experience and to even see if you want to be a lawyer

As long as you have a degree, excellent grades and a good score on the LSAT you are qualified. I would nevertheless recommend that you take technical writing courses, business courses (especially accounting) and any undergraduate law classes that are available.
