US further education question

[burntcopper]

How old would someone be when they finish a law degree in the US? As in normal college, then they take the LSATs, etc. My only knowledge about such things comes from Legally Blonde. My brain has just been hijacked by a bunny where either Young Justice or Superboy crosses over to the Smallville universe.

Ordinarily, if you proceeded directly from secondary school, you'd spend four years (average) at a university getting an undergraduate degree (at which point you'd be 21 or 22) and *then* go to law school for three years.

So...24 or 25 is probably the youngest most people could become lawyers here (and in practice, it's often *much* later)
