I am thinking about going to law school and I'm curious, is law school two years or four years? Also, what is considered a good score on the LSAT's?

neniaf is right. 3 years full time, 4 years part time.
Cardozo in NYC has an accelerated program that takes 2.5 years, and I think Southwestern University in California has a special 2 year program. Other than those, every other school follows the 3/4 year route.
I would say a 150 will get you into a 2nd tier school, 160 gets you into a first tier, and about 175+ will get you into the top 10.

Full-time law school in the U.S. takes three years. I did it part-time and it took four (I don't know where you are, but in California, the law requires that you finish within 5 years, or you have to start over from scratch. Therefore, law schools design the part-time programs to take four years, so that if you get delayed for any reason you can still finish under the time limit). I'm not sure what is considered a good LSAT score, and I'm sure it depends upon where you are applying. I had a 166, which I think was slightly above the mean at the time where I went. I'm sure I would have needed more to go to Harvard, Yale, or Stanford.

Full-time law school is 3 years. Part-time, on average, four years.
A good LSAT score is usually at least about 158-160.

It takes 3 or 4 years, depending on a number of different things.

Three years for standard, four years for night school. One admissions trick is to apply to the night school (if they have one) and then transfer to day after your first year. You need to take 2-3 summer classes, but it will make it so you graduate in three years, and the admissions process is easier.

It's three years days, longer at night, and it depends upon what everyone else gets when you take it.
