The requirements have long been a bachelor's degree in any subject plus 2 years professional experience, or a masters (in anything) and one year of experience.
The most common degree, also for a long time, is in criminal justice.
Some roles require advanced degrees like your example of lawyer or CPA. There are other forensic roles that require other specialized advanced degrees like chemistry, civil engineering, and the like.
I knew members of the ACS (American Chemical Society) who worked as analytical chemists for the FBI. I got recruiting call from them in the early aught. Wasn't the least bit interested in that.
