You need a college degree from an accredited college. You then need to take the LSAT and apply to law school. Tuition, books and fees for law school are currently about $125,000-$200,000. Then, you need to take and pass the bar and find a job in a market glutted with lawyers that pays enough to live on and allow you to pay your student loans.
Enjoy!
