No.

I don't usually hear of people having graduate degrees before going into programs such as MBA or Law. My best friend just graduated from law school and I'm pretty sure few to no people in her program had anything but undergraduate degrees before they started.

No. At some of the more elite law schools, it's slightly more common - for example, 9% of Columbia's JD class of 2020 had a graduate degree before entering, and I checked a couple others with similar numbers.

But at the top law schools, it is becoming more common for people to work for a few years (2-3) before attending. You can check out the class profiles of law schools to see the percentage of students who came straight from undergrad.
