Of course you can major in anything you want and still get into LS to become a lawyer. However, Philosophy tends to equip students with better tools for taking a good LSAT, which in turn will get you into a better LS - with focus on logic, reasoning, argumentation, critical thought analysis, etc - hence somestimes the LSAT, Law School Admission Test, is instead referred to as the Logic Scholastic Aptitude Test.</p>
<p>I would venture to suggest that most Phil majors that change their minds about LS do so more because of the job market and cost rather than the major turning them off from it. Most Phil majors i know are absolutely passionate about law and ethics.</p>
