Hi,
I wanted to clear up a couple things about the answer above.

You do have to go to college and get an undergraduate degree, but it does NOT have to be in pre-law, and it does NOT have to be in Illinois. In fact, if you want to be a patent attorney, you should major in a science or engineering area, for example.

You do have to take the LSAT, likely toward the end of college.

You do have to go to law school, but that also does not have to be in Illinois.

However, you should take the bar exam in Illinois if you know you want to practice in Illinois.

According to https://www.lawyeredu.org/illinois.html
Find an Illinois Undergraduate Pre-Law Education
Take the LSAT (Law School Admission Test)
Graduate Law School in Illinois
Pass the Illinois State Bar Exam

Of course you can get an undergraduate degree and finish Law School in other states as well. You just have to ensure that you're eligible to take the IL bar exam and pass it to practice there.
