The interviewer asks this question to see if you fulfill the job requirement by having a law degree. Some Court Clerk job announcements will say that the organization prefers their applicants to have a law degree, but it is not required. Other organizations might require their clerks to have a law degree.

If you have your law degree, focus on where you went to law school, what type of law you studied, and what degree you obtained. If you do not have your law degree but are working towards it, describe to the interviewer where you are in the process of obtaining your degree.

Avoid saying you have a law degree if you do not. The interviewer will require you to provide copies of your degrees and transcripts during the hiring process, and you do not want them to see that you were dishonest.
