Lawyers need good communication skills. I majored in English. Major in an area that you feel passionate about and that you can do well in. It's also helpful to have good analytical or reasoning skills. Some students take philosophy courses to help them in this area. We've had students go into law from a wide area of majors, from political science to journalism. Most students don't know what area they want to actually practice in until law school. Consider volunteering at a law office, or an office that does volunteer legal work. It may give you an idea of areas of interests. Good luck.
