Arizona Law Schools

Any individual aspiring to be a lawyer must first attend and graduate from law school. Law schools are post-graduate programs, usually lasting three years, which award students with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree upon completion. They are also designed to prepare students to pass the bar exam upon graduating. Acceptance to a law school typically depends on two factors: the results of the Law School Admissions Test (LAST),           and undergraduate performance.
