what degree should i take before going to law school?

Major in something that requires you to write papers and do critical thinking. There is no required field of study but the ability to research and write is key.

I agree with Emma. Critical thinking and writing is key and will facilitate skills developed in law school. I would also study something you enjoy as that will make it easier for you to learn "how to learn" and "how to study." Many people study political science, but I would consider studying a language (I studied French), History or anything in comparative studies.
