Should I look into law school?

So I’m an incoming freshman, starting this fall. My entire life, I’ve always wanted to do biomedical research, and never thought much about other careers (also partly due to my parents who are both STEM people and would prefer I stay there)
However, law has started to interest me. My strengths are reading, writing and analysis, and I feel that law is a far more intellectually stimulating career than medicine (would love to know thoughts on this) I love history, and would like to work in int’l law/social service/public policy.
One big reason I never considered law is because I’m a quiet, shy, introvert person-not the typical “law” student at all. I’m not outspoken, and am not the type to participate in debates/class discussions, and not a "leader"type at all.
Should I consider a career in law at all?
