Majors that teach a lot of critical thinking, reading, writing, and analysis skills are good choices. Majors in which you can get a lot of experience in classroom discussions are also useful, because law school classrooms have a lot of speaking.

Political science is a good major for those things; so are history, philosophy, English, economics, and a bunch of other majors. Business could be a good major if you are interested in corporate law but I would supplement with some classes that have you reading dense material and doing a lot of critical analysis and discussion.
