Well, law schools will accept pretty much any major, but I'd say the best majors are history and political science. I actually originally switched to history because I planned to go to law school. When I realized how much work being a laywer would be, I decided to just be a history professor at a community college. But the reason I chose history (besides the fact I'm great at it) was because it prepares you for the LSAT. You get plenty of practice writing as a hisory major. Plus all the sources you have to use mean you'll be get plenty of practice with reading comprehension. The reasons for choosing political science are similar. Which one you choose is really a matter of personal preference. You should choose something that interests you. If you do choose one of those majors, make sure to take a variety of classes, even ones that aren't required for you major. Math,computer science, and philosophy are good classes to take, even if you just take the first level of the class. They help with skills you need for the LSAT. Whatever you do, make sure to take classes that help with all the portions of the LSAT, even if your chosen major doesn't require it.
