About law school & what it takes ?

I m only 17 but I ve been interested in going to college for law. I m obviously aware it s a heavy commitment and hard, but I ve always been interested in it. To say the least I m uneducated in what it takes to get there so I need some questions clarified. I m pretty sure you can t go to community college for law but isn t it required to take certain classes? What would it be? I m also interested in philopshy and I heard that helps getting a law degree. Is there such thing as getting an associates/ bachelors degree in law & if so what can you do with it if you don t plan on getting a doctorates? Or can you only get a doctorate degree? How does going to college for law work out and the steps I would potentially need to make ? Thanks for your time and remember no question is a dumb question ;)

    In the US, law school is graduate school, the JD degree (juris doctorate); you can get your bachelors in anything, but learning logic, good speech and written communication skills is paramount. You can look on a few web pages for admit nfo for law school (there are thousands of law school) and your college adviser will also be knowledgeable.
