- commission through ROTC, then apply for FLEP as a LT or CPT. https://www.goarmy.com/jag/funded-legal-education-program.html
- you may request an educational delay as an ROTC Cadet to,pursue law school. https://www.jagcnet.army.mil/Sites/jaro.nsf/homeContent.xsp?open&documentId=13FE58A97B0DB74785257BD3006A87EB
It appears that FLEP is the only funded one, but that looks like a lightning strike, 25 officers per year.

Funded Legal Education Program
The Funded Legal Education Program (FLEP) authorizes the selection of 25 Active Duty Army officers (Lieutenants or Captains) each year to obtain a legal education at government expense.

ROTC is the only one I know. Or you could apply for OCS and then go to the courses.

You have to apply for the FLEP, but I believe that it also requires you to be a 1LT at least (possibly promotable), and is insanely competitive. There is no other way to get the Army to fund your law degree, and it cannot be done concurrently with a commissioning source anyways.
I just graduated law school, so if you have any questions that you want to ask about it, you can message me- in between four kids, a wife, company command (although I'm fixin to go back to being a staff rat, thank God), and bar studying, I will try to provide any answers or assistance.
