Law schools don't usually care about your major but they tend to dislike vocational or pre-law majors.
"Pre-law"/"legal studies" is:
1) Not very useful in terms of looking for a job
2) Disliked by law schools
3) On average "pre-law" majors score near the bottom on the LSAT.

Average LSAT Scores for 29 Majors with over 400 Students Taking the Exam

Pardon my generalization, but this is why majoring in "pre-law/legal studies" is probably one of the worst decisions to make.

PoliSci is one of the most common majors for law school applicants, but not preferred over any other non-vocational/non-pre-law major. Major in what you excel in and can get a high GPA in.
