You need to either be a current commissioned officer and be picked up for FLEP (very small number) or go to law school, pass the bar and seek a direct commission. To the JAG Corps.

You could go the way you have stated, but it is longer in the end. Start working on the BA now!

A program that helps pay for your schooling to become a JAG. You can also direct commission as a JAG once your gotten your law degree and passed the bar.
