   First you need to get your undergrad (4 years) and then go to law school (2 years, I think). After you have graduated, you have a period of about one year where you are an articling student (basically doing research for senior lawyers). After that, you need to write the bar admissions examination. If you pass that, you are a lawyer. So, about 7 years once you have started your undergraduate degree.
