No. After you graduate from law school, you apply for the state bar exam (this is a 2-3 day written examination consisting of, at least, a multiple-choice section and a number of essay questions on various legal topics). You must also submit a character application to the bar of your state (some states do this as a prerequisite for sitting the bar exam, some do this AFTER the bar exam). A committee will review this application to determine whether you have the necessary moral character to be a lawyer (among other things, they'll be looking at your criminal history (arrests, convictions, etc.), your credit history (are you responsible enough to be trusted with someone else's money?), where you've worked, whether or not you behaved in school (seriously!), where you lived in the past, and whether or not you suffer from any mental or physical illness that might adversely affect your ability to practice law. Assuming you pass both the bar exam and the character review, you will be admitted to the bar of your state (you may still have to pay a small fee and attend a swearing-in ceremony of some sort). And then you can be a lawyer. Assuming you can find a job. About five minutes after you are admitted to the bar, you will receive a lot of papers telling you of all your new obligations: in order to REMAIN a lawyer, many states require that you take skills and methods courses for new lawyers, or sign up for continuing legal education, or pay into funds for pro bono work or for client protection.
