Is it possible for a Canadian to attend law school in the United States?

I am currently enrolled in grade 10 and wish to attend law school in the United States for a wide array of reasons. I wish to be a corporate lawyer in the states working in places such as New York, Chicago etc.
I seriously doubt that American law firms would be interested in a corporate lawyer who attended a Canadian law school. Could you please tell me how I could get into an American law school once I graduate high school?

You absolutely could attend a US law school, but keep in mind the fact that US law degrees are graduate programs, unlike most other countries that offer law as an undergraduate field of study. This means that you'll need a Bachelor's degree (typically a 4 year program after high school) or equivalent to be eligible to apply to law school, and you will also need to take the LSAT.

The link below outlines the basic requirements of how to apply to US law schools from abroad, which might be helpful to you.

That said, plenty of major firms throughout the United States recruit from McGill and Toronto, and these would be considerably cheaper than their American equivalents, especially since you would benefit from Canadian tuition.

You need a bachelor's degree first. Either Canada or the US is fine. After you do that, you can apply for a student visa to attend law school in the US.
