What's the difference between a Pre-Law Major and law school?

@Dustyfeathers : “First you do a BA (4 years) in any major. JAMCAFE was right. Then you apply for law school. Law Schools tend to be 3 years in length to earn your JD degree (juris doctorate)”

So you said in any major. I can’t get it why should I major in something ,say History or American Literature -or very unlikely being STEM, but just presume so- that is different from the career I want? How would this ,seemingly, unrelated major affect my study and career in Law??

*For some background about my educational environment, I’m from Egypt and here the students can get directly into law studies as a BA, they graduate, become lawyers and they work as legals for companies from different businesses.
