Philosopher is right, in essence, it doesn’t matter crap jack what you major in before law school (obviously not music or culinary studies), but all the theoretical subjects generally offered in undergrad is what you need to HONE IN on, and have a natural “like” to do it. Like is the most important thing in undergrad…pick a subject you LIKE. I did Law & Society/Political Science and it was all interesting theory to me, helped me be a better and well-rounded thinker, aware of world/national affairs, draw parallels with other subjects (history; phil; engl; soc; crim; bus).

If you intend to major in philosophy for the sole purpose of using it as a “stepping-stone” or precursor to law school (unless you genuinely LIKE philosophy to work with it consistently), then you are doing yourself a huge disservice, both intellectually, academically and monetarily.

Major in what you LIKE…'nuff said. Law school takes anyone, unlike Med School. 2nd repetition of this statement.
