What major should I choose and which classes should I take if I want to go to law school?

There is no preferred course of study or major that will increase your chances of getting into law school.  That truthful answer often frustrates students who are looking for a clear roadmap that will lead to a legal degree.  But it also frees students to study what they enjoy.  If you are interested in your courses you are more likely to obtain high grades and challenge yourself by taking rigorous courses, writing a thesis, or working on interesting research projects.  Law schools want intellectually curious students.  So, study what you love, and along the way look for opportunities to hone your critical thinking skills, writing skills, analytical skills, and oral communication skills.
