When did you know law school was right for you?

As a law professional, what experiences, feelings, interests, etc did you have during college that looking back were clues that you were meant to be a lawyer?

Would it be a good idea to double major for law school?
I've been considering becoming a lawyer as my parents really want me to become one. Would it be a good idea to double major in undergrad for law school? I might not want to be a lawyer in the end, so having a double major might help if I didn't want to go to law school. Would having a double major in undergrad help if I were to go into specific field of law such as a double major of econ and a business degree for business law?

What should a pre-law student pursue in his/her undergraduate to bolster law school prospects?
Ex's: studying for LSAT continuously, joining any pre-law organizations, meeting with law professors, meeting with lawyers, building a network, interning at appropriate organizations, etc. I am not sure which of these activities is worth while whereas others might just be a waste of time or a fulfillment of my "preparation mindset" for law school without any actual benefits. Thanks! Carson #law #pre-law #law-school #government #study #politics #graduate-school P.S. I will be attending Yale University in the fall, enabling me to take some cross-over classes with the law school if that is relevant at all.
