Is criminal justice degree good enough for law school?
Is a criminal justice degree from ITT Technical Institute good enough to get into law school? And if it is, will I be prepared enough?

No, it is not. I am not aware of a recognized law school that does not require a 4 year degree.

The criminal justice degree from ITT is a 4-year degree.

Then that degree (assuming it's a bachelors degree and not an Associates degree), some side interests and a good score on your LSAT's will certainly qualify you to apply and possibly be accepted.

Will I be prepared for law school? How will I know if I'll be ready? Even if I do make it?

You'll take the Last exam and your score will determine whether you will attend law school, same as your SAT's determine if you can get into a College.
I am not the least bit familiar with your degree and your school so I can't address your situation specifically.

OK. So pretty much if I get a good score on my last and a good gpa, I should be able to get in? Since ITT is not a liberal arts school, I probably wouldn't be looked at by a top notch school no matter what my scores would be right?

Part of the issues is yes you can go to law school, have you taken any constitutional law classes, have you learned to do any briefs like you may in other , But then you have people who went to engineering schools go to law school.
Now remember there are different levels of law schools, so unless you do a blast on the Last don't expect it to be the top school.

That's the thing. If I make the grades and score well on the last, I want to be able to get into a good school, so I guess ITT isn't a good choice for me.

Right, and this was just discussed on another thread - law schools are increasingly difficult to get into.

Must have missed that, so much depends on how bad and how hard they want to work, And to remember that ( don't have current stats) but about 30 percent of all law school students never pass the bar after they graduate from law school.

Check with the law schools you want to apply to. ITT Tech is not the same as an accredited 4-year university. Some law schools might not recognize a degree from ITT Tech as legitimate or fulfilling their admission requirements.

From Wikipedia:
ITT Tech is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. It does not have regional accreditation; thus, most regionally accredited or traditional universities and colleges do not accept ITT Tech's credits for transfer and do not recognize its undergraduate degrees for entry into graduate programs.[2][3][4][5]
