<p>Well, first you have to get get admitted to law school. Here are some data on how different majors scored on the LSAT:
[Average</a> LSAT Scores for 29 Majors with over 400 Students Taking the Exam](<a href=“http://web.phil.ufl.edu/ugrad/whatis/LSATtable.html]Average”>http://web.phil.ufl.edu/ugrad/whatis/LSATtable.html)</p>
<p>Criminology majors don’t do so well. </p>
<p>A search on CC or elsewhere on the internet might turn up more recent data.</p>
<p>There is no such thing as a “pre-law” major.</p>
<p>You mentioned that a disadvantage of an Econ major is that it doesn’t give you a relevant skill that applies to the duties of a lawyer, There is a whole school of legal thinking that is influenced by economic models of decision-making. Also, Econ is relevant for many areas of law. Courses in Labor Econ, Industrial Organization, Environmental Econ, Money & Babking, International Econ, etc. all relate to important areas of the law.</p>
<p>An undergrad psychology major is not going to give you great insights in someone’s motives. Especially at the undergrad level. Some areas of psychological research are more readily applicable, e.g., eyewitness testimony, jury selection, etc. </p>
<p>Lesrning to think and write clearly are your best preparation.</p>
