I have college courses but not many. I graduated highschool with a 4.0 and straight A's. If I were to score a lot higher than required on the LSATS is there a possibility I could be accepted in a law school without a degree? If so, do you happen to know any law schools that allow this?

Not going to happen at any accredited law school. The ABA requires students to have an undergraduate degree prior to entering law school.
Also, for what it's worth, law school is much more difficult than college and infinitely more difficult than high school. Part of the reason they require an undergraduate degree (in addition to protecting the integrity of the profession) is so that people are forced to prove their ability to perform at high levels for extended periods of time and have the dedication necessary to perform well in law school.
Go get your undergraduate degree and then worry about law school. Who knows...maybe you'll come to your senses and realize that you don't want to go to law school after all. Trust me, it's not all it's made out to be.

You need a college degree to go ABA accredited law schools.
The good thing is you do not have to major in anything in particular to apply to law school. So pick something that you like and that you are good at, do well, get a BA or BS and then apply to law school.

If you applied to one of those leftists schools such as Yale or Harvard or Berkley - they would love to admit you out of curiousity ..But, I doubt you will do well enough on the LSAT to arouse such curiousity .. unless you have spent your life up until this point obsessing over cross word puzzles and other trivial little mind teasers and such..the LSAT is designed to let in such wierdos ..

I would be very surprised if you were admitted to law school without a college degree.

to be ABA-accredited, a law school can only admit students with undergraduate degrees.
Get a bachelor's degree.

You could certainly apply, and might get admitted. You need to talk with admissions officers at some of the schools in which you are interested, and they will give you the straight dope.
