Law school is usually a graduate program (master's degree). If you are doing an undergraduate program (i.e. you just left high school, don't have any other degrees, and are going for a bachelors degree), then yes, you can major in English and then go on to a graduate school to study law. * Yes, almost any undergraduate degree is acceptable including an English major. However, it would could be beneficial for the prospective law student to also take courses related to the legal field perhaps a minor in criminal justice, civil rights, constitutional law, etc. A law degree is a doctorate degree (Juris Doctorate) not a Master's.
