Now, I’m not telling you that you shouldn’t become a lawyer, just suggesting that you look into the problems of the legal profession before going down that path. I really wanted to go to law school as well, before I learned about how screwed the legal profession is right now, and likely will be for the foreseeable future.

But to answer your question, your major won’t matter when you apply to law school. A lot of liberal arts kids go to law school because they can’t do anything else with their degrees. As for law related degrees, I’d say political science, philosophy, history, and economics.
