Lerato, good question. The good thing about law school is that it does not really matter what you are studying so long as you are developing your writing skills, logic, and public speaking ability. Many majors allow you to hone these skills as do almost all classes. So long as you are able to develop relevant skills, the class in question does not really matter. English classes, mathematics, and logic/reasoning classes may be a good place to start. Don't feel pressured that you have to take some sort of class to get into law school; there is no secret class that you have to take in order to do well on the law school exam (LSAT in the United States). Improve your writing, work hard, and you will do just fine on the exam and in law school.
I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!!
Best,
Austin
