Although you can apply to law school under any major it is a good idea to take a few law classes during your undergraduate years to get a sense of what law school will be like. From personal experience, I can tell you that law courses require a different type of thinking and studying. They are unlike any other college course I have taken. It required me to critically read, brief, highlight, and adjust to the socratic method of teaching. Knowing and memorizing cases and laws were critical and hypotheticals arguments took some getting used to. If your university offers law courses I would highly recommend fitting them into your schedule! It will help you in the long run, especially at law school!
Other helpful classes to take would be of course, English courses, but philosophy, specifically, logic, will be of utmost help to you! Logic will prepare you for the LSAT. And English and philosophy courses will strengthen your reading skills, critical thinking abilities, and writing skills!
If your course schedule is pretty limited, try to at least get one law course in before you graduate and if possible, logic.
You will thank me later!
