It depends where you are. In the US, a law degree is a Masters-level Doctorate, obtained AFTER undergrad. The same is true in Canada.
Outside of the US, law is an undergraduate degree. In the UK and elsewhere, you can practice with an LLB and an apprenticeship program / training. You can also obtain an LLM, or a masters in law, which is helpful for practicing in the US and teaching law.

Get your Bachelors degree than apply to law school. The law degree is a graduate degree (JD--juris doctorate). You have to take the law entrance exam called the LSAT. Just about any Bachelors degree will work. They like degrees that show you can think. Check a couple of law school websites for information. It usually takes 3 years after the BA/BS to become a lawyer.

You need to get a bachelor's degree first. After that, you can go to law school at any time in your life. I graduated from college in 1976, and started law school in 1995.
